For Sale Kodak 8x10 f/5 Petzval & Soft Focus Lens - CLEAN AND CLEAR Glass

Eastman Kodak Co. Petzval Portrait Lens - 8x10 15.5" Focus with F/5 speed with Soft Focus diffusing adjustment via the rear element. This is basically a re-branded lens made by Wollensak, circa 1910. Lens Glass is SUPER clean and clear. Aperture and soft focus diffusion (by turning rear element) works as it should. Lens barrel hasn't aged very well, but this lens is ready to shoot some amazing images. This nickel finish is much more scarce than the brass version. Tiny amount of balsalm (glue) showing at extreme edge...not even in optical path but mentioning it for full disclosure...see pic... This lens weighs 5.5 pounds ! Includes original flange $ 1,249 plus shipping. Paypal/Venmo
