Congratulations on your sale and to the photographer whom bought it.

I've been looking for one of these for years now and this is the first one I've seen on this or any other forum, in classifieds.

This is an excellent enlarging lens.

I just checked eBay and there were 17 listed, a lot from Japan but several in the U.S. One for $85

Cheers.

I generally try to find used kit from other forum members, whom I generally trust to give a frank appraisal of condition, but I may just have to go to eBay for one for my Valloy II enlarger.

The trading history of mckay3d was 0, and I just bumped it to 1. I want to publicly say that the purchase from him was flawless. He shipped quickly, packed the lens well, it was exactly as pictured, and even included the original box which wasn't mentioned. What he called "EX+", most eBay sellers would call "Mint". mckay3d is welcome around here!

I'm using this 63mm lens to avoid switching lenses when making small 4x5-inch enlargements from 35mm negatives. With a 50mm lens, my Beseler 45 MCX can't go low enough, so I'd need to put the easel on a box.

Good to here. I bought mine new, that was at least 35 years back. I really love that lens.
