Cameras:

VIEW LENSES: (The following are especially recommended for use and are working. All have mounting flange unless stated otherwise. All have good glass unless stated otherwise. If no shutter type is mentioned, lens is in barrel only. PLEASE SEE the "Services" section for lens service options.

• NOTE: knowing what lens fits your application is not easy; ask us for suggestions. Our staff uses lenses every day. Sizes of cameras that the lenses most commonly fit are listed in parenthesis. 1"=25mm in case you want to convert a size

The following lenses are for display or do-it-yourselfers

• Wollensak Extreme wide angle 8x10 f9.5 [159mm] series III, rear cell only $78 excellent glass

We are listing some brass [mostly] view lenses usable primarily for display, but many are in fact usable. They are great to fill the hole in that wood camera you put away. All have mounting flange unless stated otherwise, but if used for appearance those without can just be wedged into a tight hole. Ask about physical size if necessary

• Goerz Tele attachment: this one is the very scarce LARGE size. The collapsed height is 7-1/2" and the diameter at top thread is 3-1/4". This is the AX model, designed to take lenses from 10 to 12" focal length. The nominal negative focal length is listed as 4-3/8". Book says you can use up to 33" bellows with this! $88

Other lens items:

• Locking ring for Copal 1 shutters $15
• Lens mounting rings: we can fit some lenses which are missing their flange. Note: we cannot fit a lens or shutter by name - you must send the shutter or barrel! Rings virtually never were labeled as to what they fit, plus some lenses took different size rings as time passed. Most rings are only $15.

FILM HOLDERS & ADAPTERS & BACKS:

• Bellows Patch material, small bottles, suitable for numerous fixes, $6.50 plus $3.00 shipping in US or Canada - Use ONLY this compound to patch bellows, never silicone or other adhesives. The bellows patch is not a glue, but a liquid designed to be used by itself; it forms the patch by painting on any leaking inside corners of the bellows. It cannot patch a large hole, for example, but heals pinholes in the corners, the most common bellows leakage. See this page for more about light leaks and Bellows Patch use.

**NOTE on Busch TELAR LENSES: Most telephotos are known for their shorter infinity focus, but they usually do not have as much coverage as their regular focal length counterparts. Example: The Graflex 250mm tele only covers 2x3 or maybe 3x4, but a 250mm Paragon or Nikkor will cover 8x10 in a pinch.

Busch Telars not only are very sharp, but have close to the same coverage as regular lenses, an unheard-of ability today. Thus, the 13-1/2" [340mm] tele will easily cover 8x10].
