It came with a 210mm lens (equivalent of a c. 90mm on 35mm) which is not really what I need. I am now looking for something in the c. 90mm range and may well sell the 210mm to pay for it. Although as you know, selling lenses is easier to say than to do...
I've bought and sold a couple of LF lenses on eBay over the years (and even kept one in the hopes of one day having a camera to go with it!) and they tend not to fetch sky-high prices, although a 90mm will be quite wide so good luck finding one!

MXV seem to have a few wider LF lenses, but I don't know what you'd consider a good price.

Mine have never fetched those sorts of sums but then I've not been selling Rodenstocks...

If I was selling or buying lenses for 35mm I would have a sense of how much they should go for and what is good and what is bad. My problem with the LF lenses is knowing the good from the bad. I guess I'll find out, hopefully not the hard way!

Thanks for the link Dan. I had seen some of their lenses on ebay too. I wonder if they would do a reasonable part exchange.

Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
