It is a Rodenstock lens, and it says Sironar-N on it. I paid $689 for it.
This was one of the less expensive 240mm lenses I could find. Do you think
it's worth keeping and fixing rather than returning it? I like the
negatives I've made, in terms of sharpness, contrast, etc.

I have a lot of old cameras that shoot TriX at anywhere from 400 to 1600, so
I'm sort of used to slow shutters, but since I just bought this lens and it
was sorta expensive, I thought it should be accurate! My lens for my 4x5
camera is perfect in that way.
So what do you think? Would you fix it or return it?
I can have it fixed in Houston when I get there in a week. There's a pretty
good repairman there.
