This tiny little lens came off a trashed Kodak Premoette folding camera. The focal length at infinity is about 127mm (measured on my Cambo by focusing on a distant scene). I've decided I need to get a more "modern" lens (or at least a modern shutter). The glass is a little dusty and there are a couple small marks on the rear element. It shows its age. There is a field stop on the front of the shutter, and the lens elements are entirely behind the shutter. The field stop and the lens both unscrew.

The mount appears to be about 22mm, and the retaining ring is included.

I used this on my old RB67 (by turning a body cap into a lensboard). The image was visually comparable to the original non-c version of the 127mm Mamiya-Sekor as far as sharpness, but with noticeably-lower contrast. I never tried it with color but it was fine in black-and-white.

The shutter is a Kodak Ball Bearing, and it appears to work at all speeds (1/25th, 1/50th, 1/100th, T and B). The aperture scale is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. I'm guessing the maximum aperture is about f/8.

Starting price is $30 plus shipping. I can take a check, money order, or carefully-mailed cash. No PayPal here, sorry.
