Hello all

For sale my Heliar 135mm f3,5 lens. Previously mounted on Bergheil 9x12 camera, for some time on my Wista 4x5 camera. It covers 4x5 fully and very small movements are possible. Movements are so small, that the best way to use it will be without any movements :smile: This is no coated version , probably ~1934

Glass is clean , no scratches. Very very little fungus dots seems to be on the rear cell.
Compur shutter works on all speeds. T and B mode as well. Never tested for accuracy , just pure shooting in real life and speeds sound correct for my eye, ear and for my negatives.
One small screw is broken on the cocking lever ( marked on red on the photo ). Lever works as it should. Besides someone in the past "made" indicator dots on the aperture scale ring. Orignal the sequence is f3,5 , f4,5 , f6,3 , f9 etc... Added dots are for f4, f5,6 , f8 and they work nicely.

Maybe it`s a good idea to do some CLA with that lens, but if you are on the budget , it will be still good performer just like for me is.

There is also Linhof / Wista type custom drilled lens board which i bought from China and retaining ring with a spacer.

Some pictures and a sample ( about F4 ).

Asking price is 280 euro / 320 US $ + PP fee + shipping
Payment by PayPal


Thank you !
Jakub

I forgot to mention that this is compact lens. I can easily close my Wista 45N with this lens inside camera. I believe the same situation will be with your Wista ,Linhof Technika etc.
