Large, fast aperture barrel lens great for portrait, wet plate, landscape etc. Lens is in good shape with beautiful and smooth round aperture. Glass is in good shape. I can barely detect some haze, but doubt it would show up in photos. Includes cap. Flange not included (takes same size as Ilex no. 5).
$100 plus shipping, paypal.

Just normal focus, not soft focus. I did find an aluminum flange that fits that I can include for an additional $25.

I have a 10 inch Paragon, excellent portrait lens, this looks like a super deal. To bad I'm broke.
