For Sale 14 1/2" f6.7 Bausch & Lomb Petzval for 8X10 Field work

[jimgalli]

Rare to find a petzval this focal length that doesn't weigh as much as a C-130. This one has some issues that will make it affordable to boot!

This one isn't going to swirl and all that silliness. Just a great Petzval look for honest portraiture on an 8X10!

It's got a boo-boo in the front glass. A seperation area about the size of the end of your pinky. Still casts a lovely lovely image. Doesn't seem to affect much. Don't buy this if that's going to make you nuts.

No pinion drive. No flange. It is what it is. Glass is decent except for the front problem.

A big name 14 + inch f6 petzval like a Dallmeyer 4D would set you back a grand or so. What's this one worth. $240 bucks? + some shipping
