For Sale FS: (9) Modern/Semi Modern 4x5 & 5x7 lenses

Got a few more lenses left, just a few LOL ;-)


Just to answer a few questions, before they get asked:


1. ALL lenses have retaining rings(not flanges)
2. ALL lenses have been used, so NOT in "NIB" condition. Some are in pretty great shape though!(see individual descriptions for each lens listed)
3. ALL lenses HAVE NOT been tested for "absolute accuracy" with a shutter speed tester. I do not own one. Nor do I have the time to individually test each one w/ sheet film. I wish I could, but 8x10 is what is calling me these days, not 4x5 or 5x7(most of these are for 4x5, but some have a large enough I.C. to cover 5x7)
4. NONE have any paperwork/boxes, etc... Just the lenses, caps(some might be replacements, see indiv. descriptions for exactly what you'd be buying).
5. ALL have aperture scales that are correct to the cells installed. Some might have the scale engraved right onto the shutter.
6. ALL shutters have a WORKING FLASH SYNC


Sorry for all the "terms"(if you can call them that), but I don't want to receive endless e-mails/PM's asking "is there paperwork or a box, "WHAT'S INCLUDED???"(in a Homer Simpson voice )...




So, lets start shall we?

2. 75mm 4.5 Grandagon-N
Has original Rodenstock lenscaps. Shutter purrs like a well-oiled kitten(don't ask...). Glass has a few tiny speckles of dust internally, almost indiscernable. Small specks of dust on outer rim of front element, have tried cleaning it, but they're on there. Those shouldn't affect picture taking whatsoever!

4. 105mm Nikkor-W 5.6
Has original Nikon lenscaps F+R. Shutter(black ring Copal #0) runs beautifully!!! This lens is the smallest of Nikons LF lineup lens-wise, and will JUST cover 4x5 when stopped down to F/22 give or take... Virtually no movement. Should be good for you 6x12 shooters! Glass looks near mint, even with a strong light on it I can't seem to find anything wrong.

5. Schneider 120mm F/8 Super Angulon
Glass looks pretty good. Shutter runs like a top. The rear outer element has some VERY MINUTE hairline scratches, they all look like they're from cleaning too hard, IDK exactly. I've shot with lenses that had this type of "issue" before, and it didn't hurt a thing. Some slight barrel wear, nothing too serious(IMO...) Front cap is a Rodenstock, rear cap is a Schneider.

6. Caltar IIn 135mm 5.6
Glass looks near mint. Honestly, this looks almost brand-spanking new! Shutter(black-ringed Copal #0) hisses like a snake, very snappy and energetic , that's a good thing!!!
Has original Caltar lenscaps F+R.

7. 150/265 Symmar convertible
NO LENSCAPS. Sorry... Glass is nice and clean, there is haze, but only with a strong light shining through the lens is it really "brought to light"... Shutter(silver-ringed vintage Copal #1) runs like a top, everything runs good!

8. Caltar II-N 180mm 5.6
Another "near mint"(IMO) example... Caps(original Caltar F+R) have a few dings/wear points, but the lens looks pretty damn good! Glass is beautiful F+R, and the shutter runs wonderfully.

9. Symmar 210/370 convertible
Glass has some fogging, and the front element has seen some wear. There are scratches on the F+R elements, but the majority are on the front. Not big, heavy ones, but multiple smaller hairline ones. Again, I wouldn't worry about these, just make sure to use a hood when shooting out and about to minimize chance of flare(unless you want it ). Schneideritis is visible, but that's to be expected of a lens of this vintage. Non-original caps F+R. Shutter(Synchro-Compur T,B, 1-1/400) runs very well.

# 6 135 mm rear element diameter

What is the rear element max diameter?

Thanks!

the approx. diameter of the rear element on the 135mm Caltar is 30.75mm across. The shutter is a standard Copal #0, which needs a 34.6mm(usually bored to ~35mm dia) opening on your lensboard to fit it correctly.

The OD of the rear element's BARREL is: 40.4mm

-Dan

Small enough barrel, but I spent the money...sorry

Hi Dan,

Thanks for all the numbers. You were correct in giving me the barrel diameter as that IS what I wanted. I am trying to fit a lens and shutter to a 5x7 Premo SR which has a 43mm hole inside the camera blocking many lenses.

I see image circle is argued to be 188 or 200mm which in my inexperience is nearly big enough for this old camera.

I cannot buy today. I see you have it on the auction site. Good luck. I may be back after I sell this darn motorcycle next week. Today I spent your potential $225 on an Ansco Studio #5 with stand. It came with a Besler CB7 and 57 MG. The deal was too good to pass up.

Perhaps we both will get lucky!

Thanks!
