I’m often on the lookout for the Computar or Kyvytar 240mm lens with 11x14 coverage. These lenses are always in Copal #3 or 3S shutters as far as I’ve seen. One appeared recently on eBay that has the same focal length, convertibility, maximum aperture, etc., but is in a Copal #1 shutter. I assume it’s a different lens? I can find no references to something like it online, although I know the available information on Kyvytar glass is lacking. Or maybe this is the usual Kyvytar that has been machined into a smaller shutter somehow?
Here’s the listing for reference. I’d consider bidding if it’s the lens that I’m after, but I have my doubts: https://www.ebay.com/itm/30452029819...MAAOSwYutioStP
The seller lists it as covering 11x14, but I messaged them and they were quite ignorant about the lens. Just pasted info they found online about the Copal #3 version.
