FS: Beach Multi-Focal Series B 12 in. Lens by Wollensak for 8x10 in Studio Shutter

An interesting lens, while not a true soft-focus lens, should be great for portraits. Design of the lens is to increase depth of focus, while still maintaining speed. Glass is clear and in good shooting shape, with some small marks on the front and a edge chip inside.

The Studio shutter doesn't work. It is missing it's open/close lever and has a irregular hole where that would fit. The aperture adjustment works, but is not very round. Flange is included. Let me know if any questions.

$300 including shipping to USA. Paypal accepted. International shipping available.

I don't see any waves in the glass. I have some family portraits done with it, but they were done stopped down on 4x5.
