Here's a really neat Petzval from about 120 years ago.
This is a 10" (250mm) f5 lens. I would use it on full plate for portraits in a heartbeat, but it might only completely cover 5X7 for landscape at infinity.
It's in lovely shape! Glass is perfect. The aperture is toast. Never had one of the earliest 10" BL's with a good aperture so far. They were phenolic and just haven't made the 120 year leap into 2011. You buy these to use them wide open in any case.
It's a pretty lens that has withstood the test of time very well indeed and the results you'll image with it will do you proud. Sorry, I don't have the flange. Priced accordingly at $435.00 + shippping
