Wollensak Convertible Velostigmat 16 inch, f6.3
I believe this is the same as a Velostigmat 1. Listed coverage is 11x14 and possibly covers 12x20 inch format. Longish lens for 8x10 camera. From my rough measurements, this converts to about 25" focal length with front element, 36" with rear element. Note these figures are reversed from the Velostigmat 1 listed focal lengths in the catalog.

Glass has some small scratches and bubbles. There is a bit of edge separation in the rear group, but not terrible. There is a front filter ring dent. The shutter works fine on T, B, 1/50th (about 1/20th actual). The other speeds are the same as the 1/50th (not repairable). Flange included. Weighs 3lbs, 6oz.

I believe this would be a good shooter for those needing large coverage/ longer focal length. I bought this for my 8x20 project, which didn't happen.

$250 plus shipping. Paypal accepted. 14 day return available, minus shipping costs.
