Congo 90mm f6.3 Wide Angle lens in Copal 0 shutter for sale. I purchased this from another photographer years ago and since I have owned it it has been used with the included 43mm B+W UV MRC filter. Included with the lens are the mentioned filter and the front and rear caps; since I have owned the lens, it has been kept and stored in pet and smoke free home. This is a tiny MC lens that weighs only 6 oz with the shutter, caps, and filter. This is a fine performing specimen of this lens. It is quite sharp, but not as sharp as my Rodenstock 90mm f6.8 MC Grandagon N which is remarkably sharp. This 4 element in 3 group lens offers 175mm image circle at f22. Shutter works properly at all shutter speeds as they should. Optics are clear and free of scratches, fungus, separation; lens rated in a 9+ condition.

Information about the lens can be found in this article by Kerry Thalmann:

Buyer to pay Paypal fees and shipping.

Asking Net to me for the lens is $195.
