Hello all,
Title says it all...
I didn't know it was such a nice lens until I read up on it a bit, came with my 6x7 enlarger...
Glass is mint, a couple of specs of dust in it, but this I think will be blown out by someone with the right tools easy enough. Or don't worry and it'll be fine.
I've noticed there are quite a few different body types for the same lens - this one has a little light tunnel that sends part of the enlarger light through to the aperture dial so you can see the f-number in illuminated red. Pretty cool if you ask me.
I've learned that these lenses make good macro glass for 4x5 also - you could simply tape or paint over the little plastic lens I mentioned above to stop the inverse light leak if you were going to use it for acquisition.
Check the pics - I know it's like shooting fish in a barrel to hassle a certain photographic format round this neck of the woods but excuse the photos from my borrowed piece of digital crap - the motivation to try to make them better for now is zero. Anyway, the frontal flash has really made every bit of dust and whatever really show up, she's not the cleanest right now, but will clean up perfect if you have the time to do it properly (i'm so wired on coffee I'll just scratch it).
Please ask questions, and yes sure I can take other photos if you like, just tell me what you want to see.
I have an idea of its worth but am open to offers.
Proper front cap included.
It's located in New Zealand but if it doesn't sell I will take it with me to Melbourne Australia in about 2 weeks - shipping shouldn't be too much but factor it in
cheers !
Nick
