VINTAGE BAUSCH & LOMB 4x5 PROTAR V 3-1/2\" f18 LENS W/RING - EXCELLENT (#2) For Sale

Vintage Bausch & Lomb \"4X5 Protar V 3-1/2\" f18\" wide angle barrel lens (not in shutter) with retaining ring as shown. Note the ring does not have the typical 3-hole mounting ring, this is a retaining ring with three random placed home made drilled holes.
Excellent cosmetic and optical condition though there is a very minor amount of crystallization of the lens cementing at the edges which might cause a flare if a point light source is in the frame (Sun, streetlight). Uncoated glass is very clear. Aperture ring is very smooth if stiff, no detents. No serial number.WHO WE ARE: Oddog2 is a husband/wife team, home-based small business specializing in the buying/refurbishment/selling of primarily photographic equipment.
