Schneider 90mm 6.8 - Crown/Speed board
Found this lens while housecleaning recently, which is another clear indication I don't shoot much 4x5 these days.
-- GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS --
I bought this to fit on my Crown, but it has issues on the slower speeds. I'm mentioning this for full disclosure -- I took it to be repaired, but the shop simply said it needed the slower shutter speed assembly replaced and declined to do it...take that as you will.
Speeds from 1 sec. to 1/10th sec. are slow or simply stick.
However the B speed as well as speeds 1/25th and up work well. The shutter speed ring doesn't quite extend to 1/500th as well.
The glass is clean, though, as is the aperture blades. I can email higher resolution shots of these photos if anyone wants a closer look.
How about US$90, plus shipping? Paypal preferred.

Forgot to mention - this includes a front Schneider lens cap, also.

An alert reader (remember Dave Barry..?) tells me this is a Super Graphic board.
Well, there you go. Price is still the same but feel free to add more if you're impressed!

Nice price on this lens, probably a little use or a bit of acetone poured into the cocking arm slot would free up the speeds that are off, I already have a 90/8 SA or I would be all over it.

I'm interested but can't afford it just yet; if you still have it when I get the $ together, I will email/IM you? I just picked up a 4x5 - my first and it needs a lensboard & lens. I will be in touch within a couple weeks to see if you still have it.
