Hi, all -
I love this lens. Had one before, sold it, regretted it, found another. But times are a-changin', and I need money for other priorities. So, this one needs a new home.
A 9" ~f/7 B&J Ajax #1 Portrait Petzval, complete with original flange:

The lens is an all-time favorite of mine. Have used on 4x5 and 5x7. If the conditions are right, it'll swirl on 5x7 (never tried it on 4x5). But that's not why you want this lens. What's golden about it is the absolutely creamy, luscious bokeh it produces. It's cut for Waterhouse stops (don't have any, though). I've only used it wide open. The glass has some light marks, a little internal dust, but nothing that has any effect on images. Rack and pinion works great. There's a dent in the hood, but doesn't effect images, and I used with with a front-mount Packard, so the hood isn't crushed out-of-round. Just a dent.
Here's a couple images from this lens:

There are some more here. Have a look-see.
Considering the money I have into this lens, and the quality of images it produces, I'd like $400 plus insured shipping, via PayPal (as 'gift', or add 3% to cover fees).
