For Sale Caltar-HR (Rodenstock Geronar WA) 90mm F/8 4x5 Lens in Copal 1 Shutter

This is a nifty little lens that I thought I'd get more use out of but I just haven't been shooting as much large format as I'd hoped lately. These were marketed as a 'budget' lens and best performance is at f/16 and f/22. Glass is in great shape, shutter works well (the slow speeds might be a bit fast). Couple of marks from a lens wrench on the mounting ring but otherwise cosmetically good. Note that this is a little oddball in that it mounts on a #3 board, not #1.

I don't have a great idea on pricing - I'd like $180 $160+shipping based on this listing but will entertain reasonable offers.

I have a cambo recessed lens board with a 1 3/8” opening. Would this lens fit?

Unfortunately no, 1 3/8" would be a size #0 - this lens needs a size #3 which is 65mm or 2 1/2"

Bump and a price drop.
