Let us know how it works out. It is apparently of the early Angulon series which had some unfortunate optical issues that Zeiss worked out later. Might be interesting!BradS said:What just happened? Has rational behaviour returned to that auction site? I bid low and early and still won this.

BradS said:Thanks everybody...I feel better. It'll be fun to see what this one will do. With any luck at all the glass will be clean and all I'll need to do is get the shutter CLA'd...
Its been another crazy day here...we're trying to get a pre-release out...
Thanks again all....

I screwed up, didn't I. I hate it when that happens, and I do appreciate the correction, Dan. ... need sleep... need sleep...Dan Fromm said:Zeiss, John? Are you sure? I thought there were other lens makers in Germany.
John_Brewer said:There are some bargains to be had on Feebay. I managed to 'buy it now' an 8x10 Grover with a 5x4 back including a monster Tessar and Packard shutter for $50.
On the lens Brad has bought can someone enlighten me what that thing is on the bottom left of the lensboard.
BradS said:John, I think you must be referring to the solenoid. This is an electro-mechanical device that, when actuated, trips the shutter.
BradS said:I guess all the stops me is the desire to find "the right" connector for those two holes....any idea where a guy might find a proper cable that plugs in there? What are they called?
