AS-IS - Voigtlander Anastigmat Skopar 13.5cm (135mm) F/4.5

Decent condition. There is some separation between the front two elements and some haze in the lens, which should not greatly affect photos. Lens is free of dust, scratches, and fungus. All functions of the shutter work, and shutter speed appears accurate. The shutter has no visible wear.

The Voigtlander Anastigmat Skopar 13.5cm F/4.5 was originally part of the Voigtlander AVUS 9x12cm folding camera. These cameras were produced between 1913 to 1934. The cameras are very compact and portable for large format photography. They even included a built in bubble level. The lenses were regarded as high-quality for the time and still hold up well today. The shutter utilizes a dial type shutter speed selector, ranging from 1 second to 1/200sec. The aperture is composed of 20 blades which produce a perfect circle. The aperture has 3 round blades which create a three tipped star when partially open. With modification, the shutter can be held open to produce excellent and unique bokeh effects.
