For Sale Sold :Wollensak 8x10 Series IIIA Extra Wide Angle 6 1/4 inch (159mm) f/12.5 lens

[Gaston 012]

Weighing in at 345gm and super wide for 8x10 this baby you can carry in your pocket, mounted!
The lens is in fair condition. The front and rear elements have superficial cleaning marks affecting the coating and do not appear to affect the sharpness. I have used for over a year and , with 8x10 contact prints, have not noticed any ill effects.
The lens, in reality is an F 6.5 but, no one would shoot it fully open since is is not sharp like that but, if you find a way to open it wide, you would be able to focus easier, although it is probably not worth the work. I have done it by not tighten the phalange to the max.
The shutter works well and is fairly accurate, I have not seen the need for CLA.
The lensboard is generic. There are no caps.
$155 shipped, net to me in the US

Can you tell us more about its size? And, is the lensboad included and what size is the lensboard?

 

[Gaston 012]

My apologies; It needs a 51mm hole on the lensboard.
The lensboard on the photos is not included.
It comes with its phalange so that you can mount it on the lensboard that fits your camera.
The shutter is a Betax #3
The lens weighs 275 grams without the lensboard without the lensboard.
It fits on the front pocket of my medium size T shirt.
Thanks for bringing this to my forgetful attention!
