This one has excellent glass. It also has it's correct flange, though not shown.

Veritos' over the years came in many sizes and shapes. This is a later version I believe and it's shorter coupled than my other one. That is desirable if you plan to try to force it around 11X14 which it is not made to do. But many folks like to try to get one size bigger in order to get the 'swirly bokeh'.

One very minor correctable flaw, it is missing the lever that closes the blades for "shuttered" use. It's very simple to make. In fact if this doesn't sell I may give it a try myself. For now though, the aperture works great but you'd have to consider it a barrel lens and use a packard shutter. Packards can achieve about 2 stops faster shutter speed than the Studio Shutters can.

I'm looking for $795 for this. Plus something for the mailman. PayPal is available.
