I cannot imagine why I bought this lens. Maybe I was thinking of adopting it to a Graflex SLR, for which it would be well-suited due to the front reading aperture scale? Anyways, it is yours for $20. I’m sure I paid rather more than that. Glass is quite clear but not pristine. A wee sprinkling of dust but that’s it. Lens surfaces are fine and no fogging or scratches or even cleaning marks. All those white spots in the pictures are just reflections from the LED string used to illuminate the lens during photography. Filter ring has abrasions. See the photographs. A filter turns on there with zero detectable effect from the dog chew marks. Just mentioning in the spirit of full disclosure.
The shutter is a different story. It is toast. Dark toast with a strong odor of incipient conflagration. At least it is stuck open so you can use it as a barrel lens. Enjoy at $20 or if that’s not the right number, then let’s use whatever amount moves you. The buyer will pay the selling price to Photrio directly, via their “Donate” link, not to me. Enjoy!!
