I am selling my 178mm 2.5 aero ektar with a very nice jolo board and hood+filter mounting adapter. link to images:
This lens was once owned by the guy who ran new55 and he put the custom wooden aperture handle on the lens. The aperture is clean and smooth (the blades are brassing/coppering(?), which isn't rust). The lens has no fungus and very clean optics. The only thing of note is the mark that isn't in the coating on the rear element. This mark will never show up in your images and I can only see it at odd angles, no idea what it is since it isn't fungus, it isn't in the coating, and it isn't etching but it is worth noting. Please see the sample images! The speed graphic works fine especially considering its age. The focusing screen is ok, I've never had any issues with it but it does have a scratch in it. All speeds seem to be ok, I've shot 4x5 slides with this speed graphic without issue. I will also include a 127mm 4.7 ektar lens but I've never used it before so zero guarantees. The lomograflok has the lovely and infamous photocopier issue, to use it you have to remove the darkslide, take your image, then power on the lomograflok and power it off after using it otherwise it will just spit out your entire pack of film. I'm including some instax wide film, see the photos. The tenba storage bag is included and fits the Aero Ektar perfectly. I am asking $1,100 shipped in CONUS. I am not looking to separate anything except maybe the lomograflok at this moment in time.
