Process Lenses!
***
First three photos are of Ednalite 12"; next six are JML 12". Scroll down for more photos.

I've come into a batch of process lenses. Some are in beautiful shape and some have obviously had a dog's life in a print shop. This is the first batch I´m posting.
All lenses have flanges. Shipping on any of them will be $7.50 Priority Mail CONUS from zip code 90027; inquire if you want it shipped elsewhere. Insurance is $2 extra. I'll pay PayPal fees (choke, gasp). Any of these is available for local pickup if you're local and you don't want to pay for shipping.
If you want to check my references, my eBay ID is pacviewcam. At this moment my feedback number is 594, and I've never had a negative or neutral, it's all positive.
Feel free to make a rational offer on any of these, but mind you, they're all worth what I'm asking.
Anyway, here are the lenses in this batch:
15" f/9 Ilex Process Paragon $65
Process graphics lens in barrel, built-in flange. Glass is coated, clean and beautiful. There's a "micro" amount of haze and I can't find any cleaning marks. Aperture is smooth from f/9 to f/64, very round. I've shot with one of these on 8x10 and got plenty of front rise out of it with no vignetting, so I assume it'll cover 8x10 with more movements than you'll ever need. Flange is an integral part of barrel, about 3" diameter.
12"/305mm f/9 JML Optical $75
This appears to be some kind of wide-angle design, judging from the "bulge" of the rear element. The glass is coated, clean and beautiful; I can't find a cleaning mark but there might be one or two I've missed. Aperture smooth from f/9 to f/45, nice and round. The photo is of another identical specimen that I sold recently, but this one looks just the same. Has a flange integral to the barrel, about 4" diameter, and what looks like a second flange that works the aperture.
12" f/9 Ednalite $45
Looks like typical dialyte, pretty clean coated non-hazy glass with light cleaning marks not too severe, but enough that you should use a lens shade. There's also a small cluster of them about 1/8" wide and almost 1/4" long in the dead center of the front element, but I don't think it'll have an effect on optical quality; again, just have to shade the lens. Good smooth aperture, ring feels a little loose, stops down to f/32. Should be a good picture taker. Flange is integral to the barrel, about 4-5/8" diameter.
12" f/9 Ednalite Grunge Version, $35
Same as above except that this one has a massive amount of tiny scratches evenly distributed over the front element, with a "barely acceptable" number of larger swirly ones on the rear element. Nice for soft focus work(?).
15"/374mm f/9 Ednalite, $50
Not pictured. Basic "architecture" similar to the Ilex 15" but heavier. Pretty clean, nice coating, moderate cleaning marks on front elements with permanent coating spots around part of the circumference that intrudes about 1/8" in from the edge. Rear element looks great with a very few cleaning marks. Aperture smooth and round from f/9 to f/45. I'll try to post some photos in the next day or two.
Stay tuned for more soon, but snap these up while I've got 'em.
