Selling off two lenses that came with other purchases. Both are in great shape with shutters that are solid and consistant all the way down to the slowest speeds, The Syncro-Compur shutter in 127mm Ektar sounds great at a full second. The self cocking press style shutter in the Trioptar is also very consistent at all speeds. When you shoot at 1/10th on the Trioptar, there is a sound that sounds like watch winding or something like that. The timing sounds good to the ear its just thats noise is only present at 1/10, none of the other speeds make it. If you want, shoot me a note and I'll send you a short video.

Glass on both are great with only some internal dust in both, both have the ring on the back to mount to a board but no caps or boards.


Thanks for looking!

Would you be able to measure of thread size for the Ektar lens cells? I'd like to buy a 127mm in a solid shutter that can also take my Wide Field Ektar 100mm. They were frequently mounted in the same Supermatic shutter, but don't know if the threads on the Ektar 127mm cells for the Synchro-Compur were different.

Thanks for the updated photo. Unfortunately, the WFE front cell threads are 31.3 and the rear threads are 31.5mm. At least this will be a good reference for people looking in the future.
