Advertized as: Speed Graphic Aerial Lens 135mm F0.95 ...

Click here to see on Ebay

includes examples shot with that!

(I have no association with that seller)

That lens obviously has no iris, so I assume it is a projection lens, but one image shows some custom made front apertures.

Shocked
DOF must be thin with that beast wide open...

See his list of old auctions (more exact feedback) - some very fast lenses there too!

Interesting.
The listing says "Lens has a custom made external front aperture attachment, apertures F1.4, F2, F2.8, F4."

What does 4x6 means? or 4x5?

For 4x5" image format.

Hmm.
I have a Kollmorgen 4 3/4" f/1.9 projection lens that can probably cover 4x5.
Its a double gauss design, like a large 50/2 SLR standard lens.
Maybe I'll try that.
Its much smaller than this.

Honestly I rather found to crappy than useful thing, big , heavy and result look same than a cheap zoom what we usually throw it out.

+1

way too big for my taste and not very impressive results.. it may be fun to play with, but not for a price like this. If I would "need" a very fast 135mm lens.. I think the Vivitar Professional 135mm f/1.5 will be a much better option.
