SOLD! Tele-Congo 500mm f/9.5 Lens in excellent condition, save for a tiny mark on the rear element. The glass is otherwise clean and the all-black Copal 1 shutter is working properly. This is an excellent, lightweight lens for those of you who use light wooden cameras with limited bellows draw. The image circle is 160mm and filter size is 67mm. If you are using a Linhof lens board, it is necessary to use a centered lens board. The lens will just cover 4x5, and the slightest movement will cause vignetting. The bellows draw is only 287mm.
