What it is
{"overview":"The Graflex 6 Inch f\/4.5 Optar is a large-format lens associated with Graflex press and view cameras, sold under the Graflex-branded Optar line. Because only two wholesale results are on record, any sense of what one sells for should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for sluggish slow speeds and sticky blades, check the glass for haze, separation and cleaning marks, and confirm the aperture blades are free of oil.

Questions
What affects the price of this Optar lens?
Shutter accuracy, glass clarity and whether the lens is supplied on a usable board are the main factors; a clean, working example will command more than a parts-only barrel.
