I found a nice Voigtlander Apo-Skopar f/9 300mm.
It comes in a nice wooden case, and complete with original waterhouse stops.
I guess it's post war, but i am not sure if it's coated (i can't see from the picture); the owner knows almost nothing about cameras/lenses, and i'd to drive too many Km. to have a look on my own. So if i want the lens i must have it shipped, so i am asking the more experienced members for some advice.
First i would like to know if it goes into some standard shutter (i have No.1, No.3 and No.2 II/5 at hand).
Second, from the first picture i am posting it looks to be coated, what do you think?
Last question, what could be the average market value of this lens?
I take the opportunity for the Nth question about an all-time forum favorite: "which shutter does it fit?"
Meyer Weitwinkel Aristostigmat 120mm (post-war, coated, with red "V"), in barrel. I know that they were also made in shutter. Does they have the same threads? If yes, which shutter should fit?
I already have a 165mm in brass finish, uncoated. Someday i'll try the cells in a few pre-war european shutters i have at home. It would be very nice to have it in shutter: WW Aristostigmats seem to be somewhat underrated, while they should be at least as good as a Wolly Ext. WA of the same vintage (that get a lot of thumb-up's in this forum!).
have fun
