This is (was?) a petzval BUT it only has the rear two elements. There is NO cemented doublet in the front.
So, if you want something to mess around with a bit, here's a chance to pick up a toy cheaply.
Glass is about 48mm wide; glass is dirty and needs cleaning. Focus knob works fine and smoothly but should be reversed.
This is one of my items going for Haiti Relief. You pay me postage, and make a donation of $5, $10 (or more thru) thru Jim Galli via paypal. Or I suppose, you can send it all to me as a gift and I'll send it to Jim.
(Jim will consolidate the funds and send them to the two ladies he knows working in Haiti and who used to work with his mother. Check with Jim for more info.)
Everything I'm selling will fit in a medium flat rate box, so postage will be no more than $10.95, most likely several dollars less than that if I don't use flat-rate.
If you don't need any of this stuff, how about donating anyway? Maybe the equivalent of one or two shots of film?
