Hi,

Could you give us a pic of the rear element where the separation had occurred? Depending of the extension one can work with the lens as is,

Thank you,

Renato

You should be able to see it in the photo in the original post. I think it is separation or it may be similar to the those bubbles that you used to see on Componons. I doubt it will have any affect on image quality. I will see if I get a better image tomorrow.

Sharadn, what size shutter does this lens require? Also, do you have any photos taken with this lens that you could share?

Thanks very much,
Chris

I do not know what size shutter it takes. I can let you know the diameter of the mounting ring later on today. I have no photo to post that I have taken with this lens but the glass looks OK to me.

 

[Sharadn]

The mounting ring diameter is 2 3/4". It would certainly take a large shutter. Probably would be very nice for portraits on a Graflex SLR. Here is another photo of the rear. Maybe the separation is more apparent. I would not hesitate to use it regardless of the separation.

This is such nice lens. why doesn't somebody make an offer on it?
