Crown Graflex -- with a WOLLENSAK 135 -- 4.7
I have a chance to bid on this camera -- photos seem show equipment as in excellent condition -- BUT what's the story with the lens -- what's this camera worth? THANX

Wollensak made Graphex shutter and Optar lenses for Graflex. When not on Graflex equipment the names changed to Rapax or Alphax for the shutter and Raptar or Velositmat for the lens.
