Front element set has some cleaning marks but lots of separation and the balsam or elements look to have been stained yellow (possibly radioactive like some Takumars?). Rear element looks good. Aperture ring is in-op, isn't bolted down and looks to be missing a screw or two. Has the Air Ministry crown marking along with REF. No. 14A/1101. on the barrel. Serial number (matches on both cells) is 169125.

Gives extremely hazy, low contrast look as is. Good for experimenting with Balsam, I suppose. Or maybe you need an ink well or pencil holder? The options are limitless.


$15 plus shipping from 92116, San Diego, CA.

$5 plus shipping.
 
$Free bump (just pay shipping).
 
Bump, any tinkerers out there need something to experiment on BALSAM with?

Good test subject or super soft focus portrait lens as-is.
 
I'm game. Looks like some fun on my Pacemaker Speed Graphic. What would it be shipped to 43040?

Fix', if it falls through with jpreston I'll be in San Diego in a week or so, perhaps we can try to meet up for a cup of joe or a beer and I'll take it off your hands?
 
Well, I haven't heard anything, so maybe he just wants to do a local deal. I suppose that's fine, too.
 
Sorry gents, been running in and out all day today and had to find where I had stashed it.

I'm good with shipping it. Jeff, send me your address and I'll get a quote together and ship it to you.

Sorry, Richard! First rounds on me...
 
Lens is taken, thanks APUG!

Here's a sample from the lens taken on a non-film camera, just in case people are interested in what it images like as is.
