This is an earlier Ilex-Calumet Caltar lens (early 60's) in a Seikosha SLV #0 shutter. Shutter speeds from 1 - 1/500 plus B, aperture range F:8 - 45. Image circle is approximately 215.
Glass is in very good condition, no coating marks or scratches. Aperture blades open and close smoothly. Wide-open, the edges of the blades are barely visible, but this has never been an issue an does not affect the image. Shutter speeds appear to be accurate. Shutter was serviced by Carol Flutot about 10 years ago. Shutter cocking lever is a bit stiff and could probably use some lube, but works fine otherwise. Some external scratches on the barrel / shutter from normal use, but no other damage otherwise. Comes with front & rear caps and lock ring.
Asking $75, which includes USPS shipping anywhere in CONUS. PayPal payment only. Thanks!

Hi, I’d like this, thanks if avail see pm.
 
I have one of these. I need to shoot it more. @jimjm did you ever try and source a filter holder for this? I think it needs a 71mm clamp-on/press-on style. I've never seen one for sale.
 
I can probably machine one from Al; we can Pm re details once I get this, and let you know if so to make another.
 
Sounds good @Rrrgcy
@jimjm a compendium is a decent idea, but I'm trying to standardize my filters. I'll keep that in mind though.
