For Sale 500mm f:6.9 Wollaston Meniscus for ULF

[Reinhold]

It's here; a meniscus lens for the ULF folks.

A larger version of my 135 to 285mm Wollaston lenses.
It has a 690mm (27"diameter) illuminated circle.
The circle's actually a lot larger, but I have no way to measure it.
(The bellows on my 8x20 Canham get in the way...)
82mm metal filter thread size.
Five aperture cards, lens cap, mounting screws and lens cleaning cloth.
The photo shows the 335mm f:4.6 lens too.
Also: a Jim Galli style photo using the 335mm on 8x10

$90 + $11 USPS domestic shipping.
$120 on a Baltic Birch 6x6 Kodak 2-D lensboard (+ shipping)

I live within driving distance of Washougal. Would it be possible to pick up a lens rather than use USPS? I would be interested in the 335mm lens with lens board.
