FOR SALE:

Special Rapid Portrait (PETZVAL) Lens Sold by Montgomery Ward. 8x10 f/5 with diffusion adjustments of 1 to 4 by turning rear cell (like Dallmeyer lenses). 15" focal length, about 11.5" back focus
Glass is very clean and clear. You can just see the start of a tiny amount of separation of the front element, but its the edge where light doesnt even pass through. Tiny sliver. Otherwise glass is shockingly clean. Aperture works well and forms a near perfect circle. No flange.

This lens was made by Bausch & Lomb and sold under many sellers names. See ad for the lens sold by Kodak... $ 999 plus shipping. I ship worldwide to PayPal addresses
