This is one of my own lenses, not part of the batch of equipment I'm selling for a friend.
Here's something that doesn't come along every day - a 150mm soft-focus lens for 4x5. I've tried using it, but SF and I just don't get along very well so it's time for this lens to move to a new home.
The coated glass is clean and clear, with just the most minor and trivial of marks. The shutter sounds strong and appropriate at all speeds. This includes the very nice original embossed metal front lens cap, and the retaining ring, but no rear cap (it needs 37mm). The filter thread appears to be 40.5mm but I don't own any filters in that size to verify it. There are no dents or dings that I can see, overall this is a pretty clean example. Those are reflections of the sun and trees in my back yard, not marks in the coating!
There haven't been many of these on eBay over the years so it's hard to set a "market" price. Let's try $240 shipped to your US door and see how that plays.
