WTB Zeiss 21cm/4.5 Tessar in shutter

[Susie Frith]

If anyone has one to sell or comes across one, I am looking for a Zeiss 21cm f/4.5 Tessar mounted in a shutter (probably a compound). If it has some matching Proxars and Distars, that would be extra yummy! I want it to complete a restoration, but a good useable (preferably pre-war) example is needed as the rest of the camera is almost mint. Susie.

I've a few LF Tessar's and over 150mmm they aren't so common shutter mounted. 210's do appear ocassionally but not very often. So good luck, you'd be better posting on thev US/International LF Forum. (That's where one of the mderators here posts frwquently).

Hi Susie

as usual Ian is spot on here - there is indeed way more chance of finding one through the US based forum - mine is in a barrel - they crop up more regularly but of course

best regards

Found one, and bought it!

Good old ebay.de! The serial number shows it to be of 1926 vintage, the very year that Zeiss Ikon was formed. I made an offer and got it for about half the BIN.

Thanks for your suggestions guys.
