This lens is HUGE! I got it for my 4x5, but realized that the rear element was too big to fit in the front standard. The glass is in pristine condition. Absolutely no issues. The shutter is a black Copal #3. All speeds sound accurate. Front and rear caps are included.
Minor issues:
(1) The cocking lever does not automatically return to the resting position. You can cock it and manually return the lever to the resting position, or just let it return after the shutter is triggered. Does not affect anything, but thought I'd just mention it.
(2) The aperture scale is not native to this lens, BUT luckily, it is just one stop down at the indicated marking; marked f/5.6 is really f/8, marked f/45 is really f/64, etc. If you want to find proper aperture plates, I'm sure there are some available, but I've never had a problem.
(3) Minor Schneideritis, as seen in photos.
Asking $600, shipped US (international buyers add shipping).
