I bought this lens when I originally got my Wanderlust, planning to use that camera in point-and-shoot mode. But 65mm is just too wide for me. It's time this lens moved. I'm offering it here with or without the Wanderlust.
The Acugon design is similar to the 65mm f/8 Super-Angulon with comparable image circle (around 155mm at f/22). It'll cover 4x5 straight on at infinity but doesn't offer any movements so is best suited to a point-and-shoot application, or use with a smaller format. The Acugon inhabits a Copal 0 (many of the old Schneiders are in Copal 00 shutters). This lens does not have filter threads.
This guy is around 50 years old and not surprisingly shows some wear. There are scuffs and scratches on the outside barrels and few very minor imperfections in the lens coatings. The shutter operates and sounds appropriate on all speeds. Asking $150 plus shipping.
I'm also offering my Wanderlust camera. Like nearly all of these, the plastic retaining pieces for the focusing helicoid have broken and are not repairably. However, the camera was designed to also work as a point-and-shoot with a 65mm lens mounted on a flat lens board. I've never tried this. But if you want to give it a go, it's yours for $30 plus shipping.
Or take both the lens and the Wanderlust for $165 plus shipping.
Prices are in US dollars. Non-US buyers please contact me so we can figure out shipping, but keep in mind that international shipping is not a bargain. PayPal is fine (I'll pay fees), a check is finer, and a US Postal Money Order is finest.
