Selling the cells only from a 90mm Caltar-W. This is a Calumet-branded Schneider Super-Angulon. The shutter is not included in this sale but appears in some of the photos because it made it easier to hold.
The cell barrels have slight marking and other signs of wear, and there's some engraving around the edge of the front cell. A 67mm filter screws in fine. There's minor internal dust. The outer surfaces are generally clear and clean, though not perfect. The big issue with this set is the damage to the internal glass of the rear cell - someone really did a job on this poor lens. There's nothing obviously wrong with the front cell, or with the outer element of the rear cell.
Just for giggles I set up a simple photo from my back deck to compare this lens to a 90mm f/8 Nikkor-SW with both lenses wide open and at f/22 (the damage is completely occluded by the aperture blades well before f/22) and contact-printed the four resulting negatives on a single sheet of paper. The included image shows a single contact sheet of the 4 negatives. It started as a RAW file in my Nikon D7200, then I cropped it to a TIFF and resized to 1200 pixels on the long edge before saving as a JPG. I know which is which, can you figure it out? If you want the RAW file send me your email address; I can also provide a cropped TIF if you want.
This is a good donor if the front cell of your Super-Angulon has problems. You might also be able to use the rear cell's outer element if yours is in bad condition though I can't vouch for the results of mixing and matching elements like this. Or use it during rainstorms (or worse!) when you don't want to take out your pristine 90mm - you'll need to provide a Copal 0 shutter. You don't have much to lose at my $35 (shipped-and-PayPal'd in the US) asking price. It's probably not worth the expense to ship this outside the US, but if you're willing to pay the currently exorbitant international shipping costs we can give it a go.
