This is probably the best version, because it features the newer front soft mechanism layout but is still made out of brass.

1) it is lighter then the early version,  slightly above 1.5kg compared to almost 2kg

2) it offers a nice and working iris aperture, for full aperture control

3) it offers the front soft focus movement, instead of the old one, where you needed to take out the lens from the camera to change it.

The lens features a focal lenght of 480mm (or 19") and a F6 starting aperture. Google Dallmeyer 4D or 5D for sample images/plates done with this beauty. There are some out there.


Condition: The condition of this lens is very good. The golden protecting laquere is fully intact and shows only minimal wear. The glass  is good here, there are some circular cleaning marks on the front element and some scuffs on the rear, still nothing that would affect the image quality. The image on the groundglass is tack sharp in the center.

With its 480mm focal lenght it will well cover 12x15 ar even 14x17 wide open.

 
Lens comes with the a fitting flange.
