For Sale [sold] Bausch&Lomb Zeiss Protar Ser VII Wollensak Optimo No.3 8.1/2 [reduced]

[colinstearns]

I bought this lens on Apug in 2012(!) and while I've admired it greatly I've not used it as much as this AMAZING lens wants to run through film so it's time for a new home!

This a combined (both cells) focal length of 8 1/2" (about 215mm) and is a nice focal length on 4x5, 5x7, 6.5x8.5, and 8x10. The individual cells give focal lengths of 13 3/4" and 16 3/16" when used by themselves, so a triple convertible, 3 focal lengths, 8 1/2", 13 3/4", and 16 3/16".

This is air driven release although I've never once used it that way, I just drink the right amount of coffee and manually trip. The shutter speeds sound on to me, no tester here. It's not a new lens and it appears as such but given it's age it's a beauty! It's mounted a Linhof (4x5) board with flange if you want the board it's yours.

$275 paypal'd to me will cover fees and shipping in the USA.
