This just may be the most elegant solution for 4X5 shooters withing for a true soft focus lens in a shutter.
No, the Speed Graphic is not included or the lens board, but the flange is original and included.
This original barrel has had the aperture and non removable stop machined off and the shutter grafted in it's place so that the aperture in the shutter is in the correct location. Correct aperture scale has been scratched in place and is easy to use. Shutter is running perfectly.
Not Steve Grimes quality, but not really bad at all! It's a pleasure to use, and the shutter was used on all 5 of the images posted below. You can just see what's left of the original J Lancaster inscription.
This will just cover 5X7. Vignettes quickly on that format, but on 4X5 it is a pleasure. I would consider it a 4X5 lens. $319.00 + shipping
