FA: Wollensak Sunshade & Filter-Adaptor with Kodak Telek #2 Lens -- for Graflex and other press cameras
Description Item Specifics - Item Condition Condition: Used Many photographers keep one of these Wollensak Sunshade and Filter Adaptors on their Speed Graphic, Crown Graphic, Bush Pressman, or other press cameras all the time. It acts as a lenshood and holds filters, but the special thing is that it is designed to engage the f-stop indicator on the lens, so that by turning the lenshood, you change the f-stop. The f-stop chosen is clearly indicated on the top -- you don't have to look on the bottom of the lens, as usual. . (Look at the 8 o'clock position on the left-hand picture above to see how this feature works.) This device is designed for lenses such as the Kodak Ektar, Wollensak Optar, etc. which have a barrel diameter of about 36 to 39mm. It fits my 135mm Optar in a Graphex shutter. I had similar sunshade that worked well on my 152mm Ektar (can't rmember which shutter). It should also work with a lens of longer focal length than 135mm, as long as the barrel-size is 36 to 39 mm. The sunshade attaches to the lens with a thumbscrew, and the filter is held with another thumbscrew on the opposite side. It holds all Series VI filters, which are always available on eBay. This sunshade comes with a Kodak Telek #2 filter, which effectively increases the focal length of a standard lens for shots such as portraits, where a longer lens is preferred. Both the sunshade and the filter are very clean-looking and in very good condition, The Telek filter comes with its original box. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=330023512453 |
