For Sale 1930 Voigtlander Skopar 135mm DS Compur

[John Austin]

Circa 1930 uncoated Voigtlander Skopar 135mm f4.5 in dial set Compur Nr1, with original flange, which has a different pitch to the ones we all hoard in our cupboards



Lens is clean for age and shutter works well since serviced by Charles Bridgwood in Adelaide, the closest repair man I trust

These are test pix at f14 I made with it when looking at a 15" Cooke Telephoto, which is the lens on the table - I like the tonal rendering of the Skopar lens, but never use it these days - If I had a fleet of them in different FLs I would



Price, not sure, perhaps Au $1.00 per mm, which comes to Au$135 + postage at cost

Selling to make room in my workroom safe and getting money for a builder to replace the timber eaten by termites in my darkroom roof

I have remounted it on a Linhof panel and made a neg' it this damnable everlasting Summer that is the hottest and driest on record that is making a mockery of our veg' garden, our seedlings are sitting on our verandah getting too leggy, but I dare not plant them out

The lens is too useable to sell
