Re: [Cameramakers] A question regarding a lens

[Rich Adams]

Gene,
If you get a chance, please let me know your results. 
It will be a couple of weeks until I find time to put
together a 4x5 camera to test the concept.  The lens
appears to be a 4 element in 3 group format similar to
the tessar lens in the 127mm ektar.  Athough it is
uncoated, those lenses were reported to be very good
in the 4x5 format.  I have no idea how the front
element focus will hamper the lens's performance.
Thank you.

 Might be tight for 4x5, I could test it on my
 Horseman easy enough if you're
 not in a big hurry.

 I currently have a Kodak anastigmat special 127mm lens
 from an old 616 camera.  Does anyone have any
 experience in using this lens in a 4x5 camera?

 Rich,
   The surprise here for me is that this is a 127 mm focal length lens but
 from a 616 camera.  I thought that the 616 Kodak Monitor with the
Anastigmat
 Special lens used a shorter focal length, like 114 mm or so.  I don't have
a
 reference nearby to check this, but are you sure that your lens didn't
come
 off the World War II era Combat Graphic, a military version without
 bellows which used a front-element-focusing lens of 127 mm if I recall
 correctly?  If so, then the lens should have no trouble covering 4 X 5,
 because that is what the camera was!  RKS
