For sale is a rare Voigtlander Helomar 240mm f/3.5 Lens - I've seen only one lising last year. There isn't much information available online. Since there is no flange, I roughly mounted it on a Toyo 810G camera (ask if you want to buy it). I raised the front standard by 30mm and did not see any problem with coverage. The image on the screen is bright and due to the large aperture, easy to focus. The lens weighs 1.25 kilos. Wet plate photographers and those who want good bokeh will love this lens.
The lens is in overall good condition. The glass is clear, except for a small scratch on the front element and some slight discoloration on the rear element. The iris moves smoothly. There's no flange or caps, but the lens will be well protected during shipping.

Buying goods online coming from a non-European Union country
As soon as you buy a product from a non-EU country, then effectively you become an importer and become liable to Customs and Excise Duty as well as Value Added Tax (VAT) payments.
