I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide which 90mm lens would join my 4x5 lens line up. There are so many for sale, and prices are all over the place, but I decided on a late 90 f/8 super angulon. I waited for the right price and today I scored. She is a nice late version with the thick lettering on the outside of the barrel. It even has the caps.
Isn't it odd how many people advertise their "mint" lenses and then never have the caps? Makes you wonder how they stored them? If it was always in a draw, how hard is it to keep the caps on?
It should be an excellent lens. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the picture you take with it.

Good point Frank. It amazes me how often the caps are missing. It also bugs me how KEH charges more when the caps are included.
KEH manages to keep several of them.
Thanks Pete, I plan on making many images with my 4x5 equipment. Landscape will be at the top of my list. Lately I have been checking out many of the fine landscape images here on the forum. So many great shots.
I use that same lens on my Cambo Wide. It delivers excellent results. You will not regret buying it.
All the best, Frank

Caps, flanges, rings, They are always missing. I asked the same question before and got a similar result. Sellers keep them to sell them later for more money. It is a BS racket but it is what it is. Good luck with your new lens.
FWIW, my 90mm f/8 SA is one of my sharpest lenses, and it fits in a Technika recessed board.
Happy shooting,
Doremus

Why do people always make negative _ass_umptions?
They make a point of telling you whether or not the caps are included.
