Lens Brass Steinheil Munchen, Weitwinkel-Aplanat 30mm No. 31755. RARE!!!

Description

This is an exceptionally rare lens! The pictures will show you condition better than I could describe it. The glass is in fair condition. The front element is in very good condition, the rear element has what look like tiny bubbles? It doesn't look like fungus, but I'm not sure what it is. It could just need a good cleaning. I have shot with this lens and none of the flaws mentioned had any effect that I could see in the images taken. In most cases the condition of the rear element is far less important for clarity than the forward and everything I have done with this lens has come out very sharp and clear. I used it primarily for 4x5 wet plate.
The lens is missing the hood but much more importantly, has it's original mounting flange!!! This lens according to the recent online price guides sells in "average" condition for 00-00. I think my asking price is very fair.
This lens is being sold as-is and there are no returns. It is a vintage lens and therefore may have flaws that I am unaware of.
