For Sale is a wide angle lens and shutter that covers 11x14 and 7x17. I use it on 7x17 when I want something between (300mm) 12” Dagor and 250mm Wide Field Ektar. This was custom assembled for me by Tim Sharkey of LensN2shutter of Snohomish, WA. 98291.
Tim wrote, “If 490mm of converage is acceptable to you, I have a 273mm that is Wollensaks version of the legendary Blue Dot Trigor. I collect Wollensak and have their factory literature on the lens. It like the Trigor is a process Dagor with improved performance with a little sacrificed coverage (from 89 degrees to just 80). Fabulous lens but not a lot of movement on an 11x14/7x17.”
He offered it as a barrel lens or for additional custom work and $, with a shutter, an improvement over the popular Ilex Acme Synchro shutter. He recommended the professional Pi-Alphax f6.8.
It is amazingly small and light. For scale I photographed it with a quarter on the lens cap. That still didn’t seem an understandable reference so I put it next to the 8x10 Schneider 300mm APO-Symmar that I am selling. (there was a url link here which no longer exists) Schneider makes wonderful lenses but they can be a little large and heavy.
For landscape work this is ideal, light weight, adequate coverage and sharp as a tack. 490mm is not enough excess coverage for 7x17 architectural swings, tilts and rise. That is where I use the Dagor.
If you wanted to use this on an 8x10 you would have a tremendous amount of coverage for a small, light weight, very sharp lens. 8x10 needs a minimum of 300-310mm coverage. At 490mm coverage you would have room for every imaginable swing, tilt, rise or fall.
The lens is clear and free of all blemishes. The shutter works smoothly at all speed settings, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25. 50, B and T. It opens from f6.8 - f64. Both lens caps and the retaining ring are included.

I stand behind what I sell. If you don’t like it you are welcome to send it (serial # D96023) back within seven days of receipt.
