[LargeFormat] FS: Apo-Tessar 9/450mm coated from Carl Zeiss Jena

[Frantisek Vlcek]

	Hello all!

	Some of you may remember that I was lurking on this group some time back, asking for information on a 13x18cm camera Magnola - a somewhat copy 
of 
Linhof Technika I propably, and LF in general. I was wanting and trying to get into LF then, but I passed up a great deal on the Magnola - somebody else bought it 
just 
before me. Since it looks like their supply has dried out, and another 5x7"/13x18cm camera, even used, is just too much expensive for me, I think I will just stick to 
35 
& MF for now. That's why I am selling this lens - I think the LF crowd here might have a better use for it than me :) I thought I would use it on MF as a landscape 
telephoto, but I would not use it much anyway.
	
	On the front is "Carl Zeiss Jena    Q1    Apo-Tessar 9/450   7889***"
	The lens is said to be "corrected from close distance to infinity", unlike many other process lenses (which were only for 1:1) (according to R.Monagha's 
list on his web)
	All elements are coated.	
	Glass is clean, without scratches or fungus. There is only minor amount dust in the lens, as usual.
	Aperture goes from 9 to 128, all marked.
	The lens can be easily reversed for 1+:1 copy work, although that's not something I imagine people use much (there are screw threads on both front 
and 
back side of the barrel, and the front thread is covered by a screw-on ring "cap")
	Of course, the lens is barrel - not in shutter. I imagine either front-mounting or back-mounting a shutter would be possible & easy, because of the 
threads 
that are there. Both threads are aproximately M 71mm with 1mm pitch.

	So, if anyone is interested, mail me at <canislupus@atlas.cz> with what you think is a fair price and we will talk more ( please respond off-list - I don't 
frequent the list as much now)

I live in Czech Republic (that's in central europe <g>), but shipping worldwide of course.
