It is a beautiful and great lens. It was designed by Schneider to rival the Zeiss Planars and has proven to be a great standard in large format photography! The optics are great no heavy scratches, gouges, or seperation. It is a graet performer for any view camera up to 5x7 inches. The shtter was cleaned and lubricated, all elements are free of fog or haze with NO clouding, deep scratches or dents. The diaphragm is smooth and symmetrical. The lens is mounted in a Copal Shutter with “ less Open Viewing” again just Cleaned & lubricated. All speeds strong, included is T & B. Flash synch is right on, Front and rear elements screw out nicely and again they are beautiful. There is no reserve, the pictures are of the actual lens.Lens caps are included as well as “ Jam Nut”. I will ship overseas, buyer pays shipping and insurance.
