For sale, a 90mm Optar in Graphex shutter and a 162mm f6.3 Raptar in barrel.
The 90mm Optar was my wide angle on my Graphic View II. I sold the camera but kept the lens. Haven't used it in a couple of years now but it was my only wide angle for several years. It's a good lens, not super sharp but quite respectable stopped down (who's going to shoot a 90mm lens wide open anyway). The glass looks clean (hard to see, its so small), and the shutter is working well. There's a press lever on this shutter, and the previous owner modified the flash sync block so it would fit into the recessed board on the GV-II. I don't know if the flash sync works.
The Raptar is a Wo-coated 162mm f6.3, so I think its a Tessar IIb type. Glass is very nice (albeit in need of de-dusting), and the barrel is also very clean. Includes the flange, and front/rear caps. I've never used it but if its a typical IIb Tessar, you can't really go wrong with it.
Looking for $150 for the 90 Optar and $75 for the Raptar. Plus shipping via USPS priority. Payment via paypal preferred.
