For Sale FS: Voigtländer apo-lanthar 21cm f4.5 lens in compound shutter

[loman]

Hi Everybody. I'm selling my Voigtländer apo-lanthar 21cm. Glass is in great condition. I can see around 2-3 very small hairline scratches on the front coating. These are only visible when looking through the lens from the back of it. They are not visible from the front. There is no seperation or cleaning marks or other nasty stuff. There is a fair amount of dust present in the lens. The shutter is in semiworking condition. There is some tiny amount of oil residue on one of the shutter blades this means that the shutter sometimes has difficulty closing down in B and T mode. It works when using the shutter speeds. 1 second is too long and 1/2 second sometimes is accurate and sometimes it's a little too fast. All other speeds seem accurate. The aperture stops down nicely and smoothly. There is some yellowing present in the lens (all apo-lanthars have this). If you want to get rid of it you could expose the lens to UV lighting (the sun for instance) for a period of time.
I'm selling this for 1900 dollars or 1465 euros or 1220 pounds. Then there's enough money left to have the shutter cla'd by someone like carol flutot and still be under current market value.

It's night here in Denmark, and I only managed to to take two crappy pictures with my wife's even crappier small digi cam under tungsten lighting. I'll try to upload some nicer pictures tomorrow when the light returns:

I take paypal only and we split the fees 50/50. I ship worldwide.

I've sold a few things here and quite a lot on ebay (pseudo mads_hartmann 100% feedback)
