The Goerz Double Anastigmat was designed by von Höegh and introduced in 1892, from 1904 it was known as the Dagor. It proved very successful and was widely copied. The series III is a general purpose lens working at f6.8 in the shorter lengths and f7.7 in longer lengths. Available in sizes of 1 ⅝ - 35" (in the UK in 1900). The series IV was a modified design for copying and architectural use, working at f11 it was introduced in sizes up to 47".

The Ross-Goerz lenses were made under license by Ross in London from 1893, they were replaced by Ross designed lenses in the late 1900s.

This was followed by the series II at f8 in lengths 4 - 26 ½".

The Ia, c. 1906, was faster at f4.6 with lengths of 4 ⅜ - 14 ⅔".

Around 1906 a wide-angle model was introduced with lengths of 3.9 - 9.2".
