This was made in two versions for either hand or bellows cameras. The tube and elements could be purchased separately. Advertisements in the 1905 BJA list the VIIb as taking a primary lens with a different flange diameter to the example shown here. The 3' negative lens is also not listed as for use with the VIIb tube. A 3' negative suited a prime lens of 6', 7' or 8 ¼' focal length covering a 4' x 5' plate at low magnification and 12' x 16' at high magnification.

The Zeiss Tele Objective consists of negative attachments, positive lenses and tubes which can be combined in various ways. The positive lens can be either a conventional prime lens such as a Tessar or Protar, or a specialist group called the Tele-Positve. Some tubes had iris diaphragms and shutters fitted. This example is a Tele-Negative attachment in a tube with removable focusing mount. The likely positive lens would have been a Tele-Positive of 135 mm focal length.
