4 at a whack. First is the most desirable in the group. A Goerz Robertson 12" f9. It's in fairly good shape. Some cleaning sleaks both ends, but nothing that's going to get in the way. It has a single waterhouse stop of F32. So you choose between f9 and f32. This is an RD Artar in otherwise austere clothing. This will be your favorite lens on a 5X7. Especially if you back pack. It's tiny tiny. $40 + shipping
Next is an Ilex 12" f9. It has a lovely round aperture, f9 - f64 but the condition is dismal. LOTS of scrathes from improper cleaning PLUS if that weren't enough, the coating is mottled. No idea what it will do. Cheap enough to experiment with, or throw at the neighbor's dog. $25 + shipping
Then we have a 1945 Kodak Projection Anastigmat f4.5 7 1/2". Beautiful round aperture goes from 4.5 to f32. Even though it says Projection, this old school Tessar might be best for portraits on 4X5. It has plenty of cleaning scratches plus some goop inside that needs to get cleaned.
You know those illustrations in WWII era training and service manuals. Yep, this is the lens that made the old school sharp illustrations. $40 + shipping
Last but only least in size, is a Schneider Kreuznach Componon enlarging lens. 50mm f4. Just the thing for enlarging the 35mm film that you put in a drawer 7 years ago. It's time. It's in pretty good shape. It isn't all scratched up like it's bigger brothers. Has one cap that fits the back. $40 + shipping
Happy to combine shipping.
