Presto Change-O. This took some soul searching because once it's gone I'll never see one of these with all this lovely potential again.
Someone has spent a lot of time making these beautiful bushings to put this 8" Darlot Petzval into a Copal shutter perfectly so that the aperture is correctly placed and useable. We've all dreamed of cake and eat it too!
I must re-iterate that the shutter is not included. The complete excellent original lens with it's factory barrel, and the adapter bushings are included. YOU provide the Copal 3 shutter. Or if you wish for the Prontor in the pictures, add $400 to the total and I'll send it along too.
This will cover 5X7 and of course it will fit any small lens board that takes a Copal 3. It is 8" focus f5. Sweet sweet lens with lovely petzval signature.
Original brass flange is included. $435 no shutter, or $825 with the Prontor. You pay shipping.
