For Sale Kodak Ektar 203mm F7.7 with filters.

[Gaston 012]

Developed for the 5x7 Kodak cameras, it covers that format with some movements and 4x5 with tons of movements
Sharp, lightweight, and usually offered with problems (bad shutter, scratches, etc)
This one has no defects, both front and rear elements are perfect, and the shutter fires ok in all settings.
It comes with an attachment for series 7 filters, as well as one skylight and a yellow filter.
The lensboard is included .
$198 net to me, add 3.5 % to the total if paying with PayPal.
Shiping is included for the US. Foreign ok, but buyer pays the cost of shipping.

I have this lens on a 4x5 Crown Graphic. If I didn't, I'd buy this one, it's a very good price.

Superb optic. A dialyte design built to Kodak's pro Ektar standards. Incredibly sharp and performant.

Thanks, I have another one, in barrel, mounted in front of a universal shutter, and it is great.
Thanks for your comments.

Until I picked up a 8.5" Commercial Ektar for a steal, getting one of these was on my list. Still might...

I find that Commercial Ektar (which I also own) to be somewhat lower constrast than the 203mm, but I've not exercised either lens hard enough to be sure this is generally true.

Interesting. So as to not hijack the thread I may DM you with some questions about your experiences with the two.
