KEH is showing one on their website (no mention of serial number though), but it's in a Copal 0. It's listed in Like New Minus condition and the asking price is $725.00.

I have one and it is stunning. You will not be disappointed. When you are able to shoot at about f13 -DO! The resolution is mind blowing. The IC is plenty big enough for 5x4 even at this aperture assuming not too much movement is used. At F22, I neveer ran out of IC.

Do they come in different shutters? Mine is serial 690xxx and is in a Copal 0.

from what i have found, the serial numbers greater than 607xxx were made after march 2000 and have a copal 1 with 235 mm cirle. i may be wrong on this and if anyone has good info i would appreciate it. thanks for the tip on keh. i will check it out.

They always have had 235mm coverage at f22. Never heard of one in a copal 1. I don't see why they would change. Do you have actual information showing one in a copal 1?

chuck, i don't have any good info here. and copal 1 is even better for weight.
any more ideas to pick one up?

A 90mm f:8 should be in a #0, some older ones were in #00 (like my Schneider SA). The aperture of a #1 won't close far enough to get the smaller (f:32 and f:45) apertures from a 90mm.

they are all in copal 0 shutters.
