For Sale FS: Viking Anastigmat Lens in 4x4 Anniversary Speed Graphic Lens Board

Not sure what this lens came off of or what the coverage is, but it is in excellent shape. The shutter is snappy at all speeds from T and B to 1/100th. It has a press shutter (self-cocking) that seems accurate to the ear. The aperture adjustment dial functions smoothly and properly from f/7.7-32 and is a free moving with no click stops. The ten curved aperture blades are in great condition and are completely oil free. The front element can be adjusted by a half turn for focusing purposes with a focusing scale printed in the inner ring. The threads on the cable release holder are in excellent condition and works fine with a normal cable release. The lens board is made of solid hard wood and is actually about 1/16th of an inch short of 4x4". It includes a brass retaining ring.

I'm looking to get $40 OBO + S/H from Ohio. If that sounds steep, I'm always open to reasonable offers, so message me and make me an offer.

Hmm... came off a roll film camera, probably covers 31/4x41/4 at best, most likely 6x9cm. It could possibly cover 4x5 stopped down and no movements, I have a 105mm that just covers 4x5 that I robbed from a 6x9 camera.

What's the focal length?

Sorry not completely sure what the focal length is (nothing marked) but a quick wall test shows approximately somewhere between 105-115mm.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an Ansco Viking a 6x9 camera? If so, should be a 105mm.

Sounds right to me. I received this in the lens board in a lot with some other 4x5 stuff. I don't have any way of testing the coverage in the current lens board.
