Condition: The lens is in very nice condition. The brass of the lens comes with a golden laquere, showing some signs of wear but also a nice patina. The rack & pinion mechanism is complete and mostly working. The glass on the other hand is in a really good condition, i cant hardly spot any cleaning marks on this one.

The most important part here is that the lens offers a similar dimensions and specs as the famous Dallmeyer 3B lens. I also compared the center sharpness and this lens shows a well defined sharpness even wide open and a nice and distinct bokeh in the background.

This lens has about 280mm focal lenght (11") and an open aperture of F3.5. It will barely cover 8x10 with a nice petzval character especially at portrait distance.

Lens comes with a fitting flange.
