Selling some more unusual stuff today trying to raise some cash for an interior for the '38 Coupe.


How many Tessar's does a guy need. This one has been a superb performer for me. I'll include some page links so you can go have a look at the possibilities.


This is an 8X10" Bausch & Lomb Zeiss Tessar. 300mm focal length. Just like the European version. I would guess the age of this one as 1920's based on the black "Studio Shutter" that it's in. The Studio Shutter is complete and working, albeit, if you use it 'wide open' the blades will stick. But close it down a bit and it's fine. Studio Shutters are Model T ish things. Fussy. But in 1920 you were very glad to have it.

The beautiful non coated glass gives it a fine antique semi soft, semi round look that you can't get any other way. $285.00 + shipping
