I have just received a Wollensack Verito 'diffused focus' 8¾" barrel lens. It seems in good condition apart from a couple of small marks on the edge of the rear element. But, there is no facility to vary the softness as I have seen on other Verito lenses. The front element can be unscrewed quite a few turns, is this how to vary the softness or have I got it wrong?
Also the lettering on the lens is very dark and almost unreadable unless viewed with a loupe. Can anyone suggest how this can be restored to be readable.
I purchased this lens to use with my 5 x 4 Gandolfi Traditional, but as it will not fit (barrel too large a diameter) I will be using it on my 5 x 4 Wista when I can get a lensboard made. Would by chance this lens cover 10 x 8?
Thanks in advance
