I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The aperture ring is extremely stiff, but the aperture functions properly and the glass has no marks or fungus. There's some faint haze and dust inside. It has coverage up to 4x5\" and optimized magnification between 2x \u0026amp; 10x. The included Linhof Synchro-Compur shutter is in similar condition, also rated a (9+). The shutter speed ring is a bit stiff, but the shutter is accurate at all speeds. This lens includes a flared retaining ring and a Linhof Technika conical lens board.
