Kodak Soft Focus 305/4.5 - where to find

[BlueLemon]

I have set my mind up for this lens.

Kodak Portrait 305/4.5

Had the opportunity to buy it last week but skipped the chance. Does anybody where to find it for a reasonable price ?

I'm sure these people had one listed a little while ago. Might be worth contacting them.

Kodaks 305/4.5 or 4.8 in Ilex shutter does show up on ebay from time to time. But, with the demand for soft focus lenses it may not be for a reasonable price. Be patient, it took me some months of waiting but eventually got my hands on one.
Great lens and worth the wait. Good luck.

BlueLemon,

mine's not for sale either but it is definitely worth the wait. Pretty interesting on 8x10 as well.

Good luck with the hunt.

I got my hands on a fine example of the Kodak Portrait 305mm - It is now in between owners, but stranded by the USPS for 10 days....grrrrr
