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

[Kylefornia]

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?

 

[Kylefornia]

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

 

[Rick A]

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

 

[Kylefornia]

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.
