For Sale FS/FT: Orbit 215mm (8.5") f/6.3 in a Copal-No. 1

[holmburgers]

This is a good clean lens; no scratches, no fungus, no internal haze.

The Copal 1 is sticking below 1/4th, but after some exercise even that began to "go through the motions". A basic CLA and the shutter is ready to go. Fast speeds sound very good and the aperture is clean as a whistle. F-scale is a screwed on plate, so adapting this shutter to another focal-length lens would be a breeze.

I don't know much about this lens and wouldn't mind knowing more. By all accounts it should be a fine performer on 4x5". As far as I can tell it is not a convertible lens.

I'm open to trading for other lenses (4x5" or Canon-brand FD) and would love to find a 120mm Angulon (trade + cash perhaps).

Or please make a cash offer that suits your budget.

International is welcome, Paypal preferred (gift option, you pay fee) and I'll pay the 3% to APUG.

BUMP.

Any idea what this is worth? I'd be happy with $150, but make an offer.

 

[holmburgers]

bump! Offers welcome, not offended by low ballers.

If someone is at all interested in this lens, please let me know. Could be a great way to get a cheap Copal-1!

Trades welcome; let me know what you've got.

A good lens in a good shutter, just needs a CLA. How about $55 shipped? Make an offer please!

Will this cover 5x7?

 

[holmburgers]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure it will cover 5x7", but I need to double-check. Hopefully someone like Ian C will chime in.

I'm fairly positive that someone told me it would.

 

[holmburgers]

Indeed, it will cover 5x7"

[holmburgers]

wow, what a barrage of interest. Where were you guys 5 months ago?!?

SOLD

Darn it! To much consideration, I should've just give in to the temptation
