Rebranded Schneider, multicoated, 195mm image circle covers 4x5 with plenty of movements. Glass is next to perfect, super clean. Copal 0 shutter is spot on and crisp. Aperture blades are clean and smooth, no oil on shutter blades. Speeds are 1sec - 1/500 sec plus B & T. Preview function works as it should.
Comes with front and rear caps also retaining ring.

Had to use full front rise with front and rear tilts. Not bad for a lens that's only supposed to cover 4x5. Just after I shot this my camera and tripod got run over in the parking lot, by my Mrs.

My example of this Caltar-S II lens is superb optically. But I need to use it more often. A couple of samples from northern Louisiana:

I was going to include a photo I shot with this lens on my 5x7, but the file is too big and won't upload and I'm not fiddling with it.
