Flauvius said:Fans of Veritors may be interested to note, that as of November 23nd, Classic Cameras of Runnemede, NJ, - U.S.A. - had an 11 1/2" Veritor for sale. The owner's daugther - when I last spoke with her some months ago - stated that her father wanted $175.00 for the lens.
When I inspected the lens: the lens is not in any type of shutter, the iris seamed a little stiff, and the front element had what appeared to be either "sharply defined white dust", or some type of dry white fungus. However, the rear element on this big lens looked to be in excellent condition.
Yet, given the noted cirusmstances, I chose to pass on this lens. FWIW, the lens is on a large wooden lens board that is affixed to a very old wooden 8x10 studio camera.
Lastly, I would like to state: that I neither have any financial interest in this lens, nor do I know the name of the store's owner. Indeed, this information is simply presented solely for the benefit of the APUG community.

Should be a good deal, because it doesn't have "verito" in the item title.
David A. Goldfarb said:I just bought this lovely original box for my 10" WF Ektar from Mike Whiting here on APUG, and made an 8x10" Polaroid of it with the 14.5" Verito, that shows a good example of the front bokeh vs. the rear bokeh with the Verito. Here's the full shot (Type 809, 1/3 stop down from f:8, 2 sec., 81B+81C filters)--
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
The first detail attached shows the characteristic Verito glow a little behind the plane of focus. The second detail shows the "bad" double-line bokeh in front of the plane of focus.

Why is it that someone would auction off a lens and not show at least one picture of the glass???brianjnelson said:
I'm just guessing, but probably because they have 37 other items up for auction at the same time, most of which are non-photography-related. Suggests that maybe they're both busy and not as atuned to the important aspects of lens buying as we are.Mongo said:Why is it that someone would auction off a lens and not show at least one picture of the glass???
