Hi, all -

For sale is a 14" f/6 brass Petzval:

The lens is in very nice shape - brass is patina'd, glass is in good shape, rack and pinion works. The lens came with an internal friction-fit aperture which throttled it down to f/9; this is included, and if you so desire, you can put it back in, though I don't know why you would. The flange is included on this lens. It covers 8x10 easily at portrait distance, and lights up the glass at infinity, though I never shot it there.

I only used this lens a few times; some samples:

I'm divesting myself of the 8x10 rig (which will be posted soon); elsenhow, I'd be keeping this lens.

Offered for $500 plus insured shipping and 3% PayPal fees. PayPal only.

Thanks,
Scott

If you think this is priced too aggressively, please send me an offer!

Price drop to $450 plus shipping. I'll cover the PP fees.

Willing to entertain reasonable offers...
