Yes, of course. It looks like completely unused at all. I am quite inclined to trust to the clime of the former owner- "Bought the 5D when in photo grad school. Not certain shutter count - guessing around 1500 since I replaced this camera with the 5D Mark II shortly after purchasing"

Only he didn’t include the battery compartment cover. It was absent in the booster. So, I have to look for it now. Sad

Yes, but the corners, general details and especially colors are much, much better.

Funny to see this lens originally being intended for landscape photography (that's what Landschaftslinse means). You can use it for landscapes of course. I suppose on its intended film format and in black and white the results appear less soft focus. 6*9cm seems like a relatively small format for a 14cm lens to be a landscape lens, not a wide angle. Maybe the image circle is larger so larger formats could be used. Maybe it was cutting edge technology in 1923..

Cam: Sony NEX 7
Lens: Goerz Frontar (i think 1:9 10,5cm) from a box camera, adapted

Here a shot from this morning out of the car window while standing in traffic jam to the Swabian Alb

It deserves a print, maybe erase left border branches.
