Want to Buy Fujinon-W 125mm or similar (4x5)

[Dan Daniel]

Looking for a Fuji 125mm view camera lens. -W seems to be the standard, although referred to as 'NW' in descriptions and such. Go figure.

Linhof Technica lens board mounted would be nice but not necessary.

If you have a different manufacturer 120mm that covers 4x5 and is under $400, that might work, also.

Thanks- Dan

Dan,
I have 125mm f/8 Fujinon-SW no longer in use...currently mounted on Horseman/Sinar lens board, but would sell lens alone. Purchased new, in as-new condition. Make offer PM.

The Fujinon W 125mm and the NW 125mm are different lenses. Unfortunately, the NW is simply marked W -- except for the box. Fuji made other 125mm lenses, as well. For complete details see:

Yep, xkaes, Fuji sure seems to have not been too concerned with model variations, etc. I've seen something like 4 or 5 different 125mm's with a simple 'Fujinon-W' label.

Yeah, the NW 125mm came in THREE different filter thread sizes! What was that all about?

If you don't need a lot of moments, 127mm f/4.7 Ektar that was commonly found on 4x5 Graphics is a superb lens and very affordable.

If you want larger coverage, another lens you might consider is the Schneider 120mm or 135mm f/5.6 Symmar family of lenses. If you're not shooting color, you don't have to have the APO variant if cost is a constraint. A Symmar-S in good condition will do the trick, likely around your price point.

I have the 150mm f/5.6 APO Symmar and it's a wonderful piece of glass, but I don't know whether it can be found at your price point.

I have an APO Symmar 120/5.6 I’d be willing to sell for $400 net

Hi Nathan- Thanks for the offer. Found what I needed already! If I end up needing real movements I'll keep this in mind.
