Now that's a lens! I am impressed with size, rarity and of course price.
I would love to see images from it, and not online, but prints up close and personal.

I like these iconic Cone Centralizers. Not sure why they fell off the fashion list the past few years. But a 24" Petzval always get's peoples attention! I wonder what my 23" CC Harrison Mammoth is worth these days?

I have a 12 in. Velostigmat in Betax. HUGE Betax! Anyway, mine does not have the diffusion ring but it's very very smooth wide open anyway. I've always thought the regular Velostigmats to be way under appreciated.
SAS auction in the UK yesterday.
Lot 149 - Dallmeyer 3D complete with flange/rear adjustment inclusive fees 725 usd.
Whilst we are using space on huge non-soft items, Lot 148 was a 13" (length) Voigtländer Euryskop IV no. 8. Focal length is 32" and coverage is 30x36". 4,841 usd.
Perhaps this might be of interest, before it disppears for ever!
Current listing - but the starting price is so way above what we would pay, that mention here cannot be said to influence bidding!
Free shipping and the vendor will deliver personally "if you live at a nice place"!
Classified as a cone lens too! Large 1842 verres combiné 111410591717.
Yeah, it's been listed for at least 4 cycles now. He keeps coming down $2,000 or so each week. Now at $55,000, my prediction is he will sell it in 26 and a half weeks. So we'll see in 6 months. The last few of these sold for about 2-4K. I could have bought one two years ago for $2K.

$471 for a Series VI 8x10 f/5.6 13.1 inch Cooke Portrait Lens. From the engraving style, it may be a very early one, but hard to say for sure. Pretty dirty, but it had the flange and might clean up pretty well. Or not, could be fungus-ridden, hard to tell...
