Kurt M from Italy, an online friend who does amazing ULF wet plate work recommended this lens to me. I bought it for a very cheap $22 USD, the shipping actually cost more than the lens $26 USD.
Been
hearing a variety of things about these type lens. Thought it was worth a
gamble, especially with the great portrait work Kurt does with one. And
for $60 odd dollars Canadian, Ido not have much to lose. If it preforms
well I will look for longer and shorter versions, this one is 14
inches, Kurt uses a 18 inch lens I believe, that lens covers a 20x24
camera. I am hoping my 14 incher will cover 16x20, we shall see. Making
wet plate photos with it, should be fun.
Here is a well written article about the good and bad points of this glass.
