(SOLD) Bargain macro lens for 5x7

I'm selling my 105m f4.5 Rodenstock Ysaron mounted in a Prontor Polaroid Copal One pre set shutter, complete with retaining ring but no caps. Purchased in 2003 but unused since then

Speeds are B and 1-125 with stops to f32

Often used as an enlarging lens, this is a bargain close up lens for 4x5 and surprisingly (despite what is said on the net) also covers 5x7 (with little movement). It's not a landscape lens - but if you like less sharp soft images (as I do), then this may be a good bet

The glass is in very good condition, no chips, haze, fungus, dirt, dust or anything else, iris looks good (and works well) too and all of the shutter speeds are spot on. The lens (no: 6035290) dates from 1966/67. Overall in very nice condition indeed

I'm asking £125, I'll pay the postage - pm me if interested

Thanks for looking

Andrew

alright................£100 inc postage

this is a bargain for the shutter alone - Grimes are selling new Copal One press shutters for $300 and that excludes s&h and taxes at this end

pm please if interested or OBO

I've now relisted this as 'rodenstock lens' and it's since been SOLD
