I recently acquired this lens included with another deal and have not found much info on it. Somewhere I read that the portrait versars were also convertible-type lenses. YES/NO? And, this lens is in an old Autex shutter that sometimes will work, and sometimes has a mind of its own as to what speed it wants to shoot at, anywhere from B to 1/500+.
I guess my questions are: Is this lens worth taking time and effort to find a new shutter for, or would it make a better paper-weight than shooter? What kind of look can I expect? Are they indeed able to be used as convertible lens? I have read that it is a soft-focus, and that it is a sharp lens both. Any real-time users of one that can give a definitive answer?
I am bellows away from having the camera this came with ready for use. AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!! What is it that deludes a person into believing bellows construction is a "piece of cake"?
