For Sale fs: Ilex Paragon 12in. f4.5 fast lens for 8x10 good for portrait, wet plate etc

[Jon Shiu]

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.

can you tell whether there's a soft focus mecanism to this? Can't see it on this single picture...

(numbers 0-5 on the side of the rim.. like universal heliar did)

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.
