For Sale (2) Lenses: Schneider Xenar 240mm f/4.5 & Carl Zeiss Jenna Tessar 135mm f/4.5

Both untested, but here's what I can know:

The Schneider looks good, with some internal haze. I'd guess pretty easy to open up and clean yourself if you like.

The Carl Zeiss Jenna Tessar has really clear glass. Might could use some cleaning, but again pretty easy to open up and do if you like.

The shutter speeds on the Zeiss Tessar seem to be good from 1/10 through 1/200. The slower speeds seem to stick and can be sporadic. I noticed that this one has the T and B settings also.

I would clean them, but I've been completely overwhelmed with gear that I'm moving for a few different people, not to mention a local camera store that's shutting down.

So, simply listing them and wanting them off of my desk.

$195 for both

It's hard to tell, only on photo of it, but it looks like the Xenar is in barrel. Is it?.

There's no shutter. It would be interesting on a Speed Graphic, if it would fit the board. I think it would though. I've had three Aero Ektars before and this seems to be on par with the same opening size.
