Nothing pretty about it. Yuch. Never the less, it is a 6 element in 6 groups modern process lens of the same formula as the mighty Kowa Graphic lenses that people pay bonkers money for. Don't worry, my hopes aren't there. I put it on the 10X20 and in fact it did not cover that much. 11X14 with some moves is possible though. For $65 bucks! Think about it. OK, listen up. It is damaged goods. The rear glass protrudes beyond the barrel and of course the folks who used it and threw it in a corner for 40++ years plopped it on the glass every time! It's definitely "abused". I put a little ink in the scratches. It doesn't really lose much, if anything at all. Nice sharp image. And the rear thread is the same as a common Ilex #4 shutter so easy to get it mounted (if you have an ilex 4 you're already using). $65 + $10 for the post man. Build an 11X14. Make some awesome contact prints. Be famous.
