Famed portrait lens for 4x5 and 5x7!


This copy has faint scratches and scuffs but honestly for a lens likely from the 1920s (to 1946) the glass is pretty good.


The barrel has corrosion especially on the rear. The front cell unscrews easily but you might need elbow grease for the rear.


Aperture works well but is a bit stiff after f/11 though i imagine you wouldnt stop down that far since this lens moderates the softness with aperture.


Comes mounted on a large lens board.
