The Craptimo is going bye bye. ;!')) Poor man's Heliar. These have a lovely signature and have become quite famous for beautiful portraiture and pictorial images. This will cover up to full plate.
It is in a wretched and ridiculous Optimo shutter. I worked on it 3 times and each time was pleased at how nicely it worked and each time I took it out in the field with the venerable Kodak 2D with full plate back, it failed. 3 times in a row. I'm over it. Aperture works fine. Consider it a barrel lens. Shutter is JAMMED in the open position, so it works just as well as any of the other ones in a barrel. Has a significant scratch on the back glass that I inked in with blue ink.
Still very capable of fine images but I'm tired of it. Clearly it did not want to give me any. So BE GONE old Optimo POC
