Some Soft Focus Lens Sales Information

[Mark Sawyer]

7 1/4 inch Verito in a barrel, $393, #321591756182

Incidentally, one of the things that makes me aware of what a small market we actually have is the number of auctions (including this one) that I lose by one bid...

That Vitax No 2 was one of the cleanest I have seen in a long time...

I've been absent because of a job situation but I've been keeping track of the sales ...

My first bargain in a long time ... the iris is shot but can possibly be repaired, was not able to open the lens yet

As for the camera ... I do have too many of these but the stand is really nice ...

Somebody got a heck of a buy on a 14" Goerz Hypar (with a studio stand and 8x10 camera!) for $995...

(I'd call this price outside the norm, but it's nice to see the occasional bargain is still out there...)

Jon, you will find a number of images with my 9" Karl Struss (and other SF lenses) on my blog ... can't post them here as they are not large format ..

Jon, if you go to my flicker tagline, search Struss, I've posted some I've shot with a 9" Struss.

Thanks Garrett. I love the smooooth feel of a struss. Jon
