For Sale 8x10 Tessar by Bausch & Lomb 12" f/6.3 A true classic LF lens

[luvcameras]

FOR SALE For Sale: Bausch & Lomb Tessar IIb for 8x10 12" Focal Length and f/6.3. A true classic lens. Stopped down this covers 10x12" per the catalogue listing. Comes with original flange and metal lens cap (cap has some black tape on it). I believe this lens dates to 1950 +/- 1. GLASS IS SUPER CLEAN AND CLEAR. Other than a stray thin cleaning mark of two, the glass sparkles !! Aperture works well, blades free of oil, just some wear to the paint on the metal blades. There are 20 aperture blades to form a perfect circle for beautiful out of focus effects. This would be great for 8x10 but also a killer portrait lens for both 4x5 and 5x7 formats. Its a 1.5 pound chunk of a lens.

$ 299 plus shipping. Paypal/Venmo
