Gifted a Voightlander AVUS 9x12! Whooo!

[John Earley]

I have a 135mm Voigtlander Avus lens (can't remember if f6.3 or 6.8) it's a sort of Tessar like but not quite to get around the Patent, reference to the Patent, I've seen the Voigtlander Patent and it is different. I lent my lens to someone on another Forum who made some excellent images with it. As soon as the Tessar Patent and extensions expired Voigtlander switched to the Skopar a Tessar design.

I have an AVUS 9x12 with the 13.5cm f4.5 Scopar. The camera, lens and shutter are in excellent condition and as soon as I receive a recently purchased Voightlander film holder I'll be able to try it out with some some Foma 100. Can't wait.
