Next up is a brass rapid rectilinear with no engraving on it. Pretty lens with waterhouse stops for f/8, f/22 and f/32. Beautiful soft bokeh wide-open, but also respectably sharp. The waterhouse stops fit in an included plastic digital SD-card case! Small cosmetic crack on the protruding thin brass strip inside the front rim of the shade (see pic). Focal length around 240mm. From the image it casts and how much wiggle room it has on 4x5 I'd say pretty confidently that it covers 5x7. I'm not sure about larger format. Focal length around 240mm, f/8. $90 + shipping
Rear of the brass RR:
The last one is a Conley convertible 5x7 lens in a shutter barrel without the shutter mechanism, but it does have a working aperture. Focal length around 210mm and f/8 max aperture. Makes nice pictures on a speed graphic. Small (1 or 2mm) blemish on rear doesn't impact images. $40 shipped
