For Sale FS: Wollensak Portrait f5 Series "A" Lens (re-branded) in Studio Shutter

[Ari]

I have a very nice Wollensak Portrait lens, made under the name "St. Louis Rapid Atelier".
There's a little information here: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/archive/index.php/t-32687.html


This is the 6.5 x 8.5 inch lens, it is a 12" FL.
I have barely shot with this lens, but I need to make room for some other stuff coming soon.


Barrel looks good, some scratches; glass is in good shape, one tiny nick on the front element, but glass is clean and clear.
Studio shutter works well, needs some exercise, but functions as it should.
Includes bulb release, brass mounting flange and Toyo 6x6 lens board. You'll need to get a hose clamp for the bulb release.


$400.00 includes shipping to USA/Canada, I'll handle Paypal fees as well.
Subtract $20.00 if you don't need the Toyo board.
