Just found one of these on Evilbay and was wondering it will work on my Century. Thinking it might be a good long lens for my kit

It should work, I use several 150s on mine.

good to hear! anything special I need to know in using this lens with a Century? I like the fact that it goes from a 150mm to a 265mm

You can't use it converted (with the front cell removed) on a Century. All 2x3 Graphics are too short to focus a 265 to infinity.

Sorry, should have written rear cell. The news is unchanged.

I see rust spots on two shutter blades, very dirty glass, a $25 lens/shutter.
