The Graflex 25cm (10") Tele-Optar lens is a nice older US made barrel lens. This lens was made for the Graflex Speed Graphic Camera by Wollensak Lens Co. of Rochchester, NY. It has no shutter so it needs to be used on a camera with a focal plane shutter. Since there is no focus system, this lens is mounted with a bellows which allows for focus. The test shots show that it's still quite capable for an older, non-supercoated lens.
