Very nice 8x10 Kodak 2-D with what I believe to be original bellows. The bellows are in very good shape/light tight and provide roughly 28” of bellows draw when the numbers matching bed extension is used. It’s been sitting unused and it’s time for someone else to have some fun with it. There is one loose and one missing brass screw on one of the rail guides-see pics below..this doesn’t affect function but could be tightened up. The lens is a 9 1/2” Velostigmat f/4.5 in a working and accurate Betax shutter. I believe this makes this lens a series II but it does not have a soft focus provision. At some point in its life, someone did a very poor job at trying to clean the rear element. There are many cleaning marks and a trace of what must of been fungus. Even with the rear element issues, the lens performs nicely. I included a sample pic-braved the 15 degree weather and shot a sheet of Tri-x pan to confirm all was well. In the 100% crop, I can read the B&W filter on the Leica-and that was in some wind at f/16 and 1/30 sec! Asking 1100+shipping.
