I got this lens in a bundle deal. The glass is pretty good. It does have some specks and a little haze if you look at a bright light threw it. The shutter is definitely slow on the slow speeds but is consistant on the other speeds, the shutter open and close is snappy threw out. I have never shot a picture with this lens. I did put it on the camera and look at the GG and the image looked good.

Prefer to keep within the USA, and use paypal. How about 125$ shipped. OBO
 
I have one of these in a Compur with all the shutter parts removed (aperture only). I keep it on my Speed Graphic, and it's the lens I've calibrated the Kalart for. They're good lenses.
 
I was planning on using it as my speed graphic lens, till i got a 135 3.8 xenar lens!
 
I use a Jena 135 on my beater and striped Graphic as a simple barrel lens, as the speeds are disabled, there are no aperture blades, and the Camera's Shutter works fine.

I've used in in the distance past to photograph models and I, they, like the looks f4.5 gives.

Old Jena glass is the bee's knees, IMO.
