Interest check - late model 90mm Angulon

Post by dave_whatever » Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:04 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi all

Now I've got a 6x17 back I could do with some cheddar to put towards a wide with more coverage, so I'm trying to decide wether to sell my 90mm Angulon or save it for that DIY 6x12 project that might never happen. :roll:

So its a very late model (1970) 90mm Angulon in a sychro-compur, all in very good condition, glass is pretty much perfect bar the usual specks of age related dust. The barest hint of schneideritis but its hardly visible really. The only things wrong are I recon the 1second speed might be a touch slow (about 1/3rd of a stop) and sometimes the return spring on the bulb setting seems a bit reluctant, neither of which have ever actually caused me any problems, I've had nowt but good sharp shots with this lens as long as you don't try to push the coverage.

I've also got a 40.5-52mm step up ring that I can thrown in to enable normal sized filters to be used. I should be able to locate a front cap but haven't got a rear cap as they are like rocking horse s**t.

So if anyone interested wants to make me an offer I can gauge if its worth me keeping it or not. I know these are not big money lenses, but not too common to find one this late in the production run. Ffordes have got three of these on at the moment at £199, which seems a bit steep given even the newest one is the most part of a decade older than my lens.

If no-one wants it, looks like I'll have to brush up my woodwork skills and get stuck in....

BUMP, for what its worth. If anyone wants this lovely lens for £120 before I stick it on ebay in the next week or so then get in touch. Thanks. One about 20 years older than this just sold on ebay for £200 - crazy! :roll:
