Rodenstock Eurynar 135mm F/3. 5 Flare Master Linhof Aero Ektar Alternatives
Item History & Price
This is a really curious speed lens, its because of its uncommon construction for a speed lens. Its a 4 element lens with 4 groups.
For lens geeks this means one thing, FLARE! This thing will flare like no other. Its softer wide open, and gets brutally sharp stopped down.
This design is usually used in process lenses, and lenses like the famous Ektar 207/7.7 that is know for its uncompromising sharpness.
And as this is f/3.5, what you got is possibilities. Flare & obnoxious ...amount of bókeh and has a unique look to it. In right hands, it think this would be the ultimate tool.
Its one of these lenses that i hunted for years, as these things are also rare. And have always been a big fan of this lens design.
F/3.5 in 4x5" has the equivalent doff of a f/0.9 lens in full frame 35mm format.
This is also about the fastest lens you can accurately (if you focus & calibrate with care) use with you Speed Graphics rangefinder.
Optically it's in perfect condition, no marks at all. No haze, no fungus no scratches.
The shutter it working perfectly on all speeds. It has been cleaned & adjusted to work well.
It comes mounted in a 3D printer Linhof lens board that fits most of 4x5" field cameras.
I can also print some common lens boards, like for you Pacemaker or Toyo. So ask if you need a different board! Consider it as a gift!
Here are few shots made with the 135/3.5 version on polaroid:

Here i think someone has really nicely used the flare, it seem to be shot on 6x9 film using the 135/3.5 version:

And here you can see the flare, this is a more common slow f6.3 model, still the same construct:

And few color shots with a slower 240mm version, that show the bòkeh characteristics a bit:
