Still drooling over it, but the budget has been destroyed by unexpected repairs and bills.

I'm in no rush - as soon as the spring flowers are out I'm sure I'll be using it a lot more.

Simply beautiful image. Not only due to a great lens, (at a great price), but also the photographer. Nice one, LennyBloke.
Be well, stay safe.

I knew sticking my head around the door might be bad.... for my bank balance!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The lens is very fast for its era (production 1959-1962) and the 10 blade aperture produces some nice bokeh. I don't know much about the lens coatings, but if it is coated it is minimal. This allows for significant flare and backlighting effects in some situations and is one of the reasons it has become a bit of a cult lens (for many other camera brand users).
The lens hood for this is a two-piece that unscrews and is stored in its dedicated case - it took me a while to find one of these (they are rarer than the lenses) to complete the outfit.
Here are some images of the Lens and accessories:
And a few taken with the lens:
I can only see one of these available for sale in the UK at present (at £375) which doesn't include the case or hood. So I think this is a fair price for this one...
Price: £299 inc P&P
UK Only, Bank Transfer, PayPal Gift, Cheque or Cash on collection, inspection welcome.
