Again from the collector's estate, a shiny Wollensak 3 1/2" (90mm) Raptar Wide Angle lens in Synchromatic Rapax shutter, in the original box. Includes Wollensak front lens cap, retaining ring and a small silver lens board, 3 1/4" x 3 3/16", perhaps for a Graphlex or something like that. The lens looks virtually unused; the glass is dusty but unmarked, the shutter looks gorgeous. Aperture blades move smoothly from f/6.8 through f/32 and the shutter fires crisply at speeds above 1/10 sec. Speeds of 1/10 second and slower are sluggish, almost certainly from sitting in a drawer or display case for the past few decades. The shutter probably ought to be cleaned for reliable performance. On the other hand, this lens really looks like it came off a dealer's shelf.
How about $75 plus shipping? Let me know if you think I'm insane (yes, according to many independent observers!) I take Paypal and USPS Money Orders (United States Postal Service ONLY!) Thanks!
