Hi, all -
For sale is my Darlot 10" f/4 Petzval. Bought it for use on 8x10, though I've only ever used it on 10x12. I sold the 8x10, and the lens doesn't completely cover 10x12, so off it goes!

Not cut for stops, and there's no flange. It gave enough coverage for shooting on 10x12 up close, so it should at least cover 8x10 at portrait distances, if not farther out. Never tried it on 8x10, though. The glass is in good shape - a little dust, and about 1mm of separation around the front. Nothing that has any effect. The rack and pinion works fine - the shaft on the adjustment has a slight bend to it, but doesn't impact anything. There's a slight ding in the rim of the rear group, but that doesn't affect unscrewing it:

This has given me some of my all-time favorite shots in large format. Here's one:

I'd like $500 plus insured shipping for this. PayPal only. 'Gift' preferred; otherwise, add 3% to cover fees.
Thanks for looking.
