If you've dreamed of getting creative in Soft focus but the lack of modern shutter has kept you stalled and confused, this may well be your dream lens!

I'm probably dumb for selling it here, but Ebay is getting so stupid that I'd rather compete with other honest folks right here and just try to guess it at a fair price. No telling what it might do on Ebay as finding one of these that someone has put in a shutter is 1 in a million.

As to what it's capabilities are, just have a long drink in this thread, and you'll be educated better than I could ever do. Not too long a drink though or it'll be gone.

The shutter is running perfectly! The aperture scale is scratched in place and accurate. Everything anyone would ever need to make very dreamy portraits in 4X5 or 5X7. This would also work on 6.5X8.5 moved in a bit.

I'll ask $385 for this. BTW, the barrel is made out of rust proof material :~')) Send me your lens board and I'll mount it for you too. Flange included. It'll go fast!
