I have been trying to learn about a lens I have and the engraving on the barrel is so worn that it is very hard to read. I finally made out "5x7 Centar Series II", F/8. I did some more digging and learned it came off an early Century field camera. It is a very clean and sharp lens and I am wondering if anyone has any more information about it: i.e. its design, etc. It should be very nice for portraits. It is about a 210mm on my 4x5 and I now have it in an old Wollensack shutter because the original shutter imploded. Any help would be appreciated. No use posting a photo. It's just a round brass lens in the shutter about an inch long and an inch in diameter..Thank You! Robbie...
