Schneider Super-Angulon 121/8 wide angle lens.
I intended to use this lens on a simple 8x10 box camera I started to make but have run out of spare time to pursue it any more.
The good points
Shutter smooth and sounds accurate at all speeds including 1 sec and B. Apertures have click stops which is a nice touch. Just covers 8x10 when used at hyperfocal distance and small apertures. Seriously wide on this format!
The not so good points
Rim ding on front. Minor coating marks. Very small spot of something in rear cell (last but one picture). Did not obviously affect my test pictures with the lens. No flange - I wedged it into a foamcore board on the front of the box camera I made.
Asking £145 + actual shipping from here in the UK.
Please PM if interested.
