Hi,
I've finally decided to part ways with two old friends.
1) The first is a Schneider Symmar-S (multicoating) 5.6/210mm lens in a copal 1 shutter. This was my main go-to 4x5 lens. As I recently added an 8x10 to my kit I bought a Fujinon 250mm that covers both formats so the Symmar-S has been in storage for a while. The lens makes razor sharp images. There are two problems to consider, however. First, there is some oil on the aperture blades. I've tried to show this in the pictures. As I never had any difficulty with it I just never thought of getting the blades cleaned professionaly. The shutter works great at all speeds. The cocking lever is missing the spring (or the spring is brocken) that returns the lever to it's set position after cocking the shutter. Again, it's just never been an issue for me. It comes with both lens covers. I'll sell for $200US + shipping + PayPal fees.
2) The second lens is a Schneider Super-Angulon 8.0/65mm in later black copal 0 shutter. This one is great all round. It's super wide on 4x5. I intended to use it on 6x12 but never got around to it. No use leaving it in storage. Everything works as it should and the glass is great. No issues here. Again it comes with both caps. I'll sell for $300US + shipping + PayPal fees.
