You may recognize the Centar name from Century view cameras and also at least of of the Cirkut cameras, if memory serves. Sorry, no Petzval swirls or Voigtlandrian bokeh but actually a really clear vintage lens of 4 elements in two cemented groups at opposite ends of the barrel. You can see the clarity (and also some slight edge separation in the rear group) in the first two photos, the first of which is shooting directly into an illuminated lampshade. That is a fairly severe test for a turn of the century lens! Consider this a barrel lens - the shutter is toast. This would fit many other shutters of course, but the only one included here is this pneumatic wretch. Please see the other photos taken with direct on-camera flash, which also brings out the worst in a piece of glass. Again, it passes handily! Will cover a true 5x7 with vanilla movements. Buyer pays only actual shipping. Enjoy!!
