Classic 1940s? Carl Zeiss Jena 21cm (210mm) f4.5 Tessar lens for 5x4 or 5X7" cameras.  Makes a fantastic slightly long portrait lens on 5x4 format. Clean glass with no haze or fungus or cloudyness and just the normal minor dust etc you expect for a lens of this age. Shutter and aperture work well although the shutter seems to be slow at the slower speeds.  You could have it CLA'd or recalibrated buy most users of these compound shutters I know just calibrate them  using test exposures and don't bother trying to keep the speeds aligning with the marks on the dial.   The rear retaining ring is non-original and is about 30mm deep although it works fine.  (You could get someone to spin it down to about 5mm if you wanted to save every last bit of weight for backpacking.)  A great vintage lens to use -but if you are bidding please be realistic as this is an 80 year old lens and not going to look like it was opened yesterday!  NOTE: The linhof lens panel and linhof camera pictured in some images are for illustration purposes only and are NOT INCLUDED in this auction.  Shipping $14 for anywhere within Australia or $47 for international to anywhere in the world.
