The second lens is a Sunray 6" focus projection lens, made by Wollensak - not as old as the B&L, but not made yesterday either. Chrome and black enameled brass, using a slot that allows a spiral twist to move the barrel within the sleeve, rather than a thumbwheel. I don't know the date on this one, but it is a Petzval, complete with that swirly out-of-focus effect toward the edges of the image. I was told that it is a 35mm film projector lens, but I have seen these on Magic lantern projectors, and that seems more likely. It is great on 4x5 and covers 5x7 at close range. APUGger bill h has used this lens far more than I have, and to great effect. Comes with a flange. $170 shipped in US, more for foreign shipping.


Satisfaction guaranteed. You don't like it, ship it back and pay only for return shipping. Paypal accepted (no "gift" marking needed) and 3% to APUG

OK,
I have obviously misjudged the market for my old lenses.

How about this Sunray at $100 shipped and the (there was a url link here which no longer exists), also $100 (now that I have seen the light, so to speak).

Or how about the one (there was a url link here which no longer exists) (16" copy camera lens) at $60?

I also have a few others, just waiting to come up. The threads disappear rapidly these days.

Shipped, insured and guaranteed.
