Price drop: $155 with free shipping the in Continental US. This is a beautiful vintage lens, would look great on a Speed or Crown Graphic.

According to the 1928 Bausch & Lomb Catalog the No. 15 Tessar Ic (this lens is the direct equivalent) covers 4 x 5 at f4.5 and 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 at smaller stops. It may cover 5 x 7 with no movements stopped down.

Thankyou, I,m tempted, but can not justify having two lenses that close in focal length.
