12" Metrogon...any good for ULF?

[Paramat]

Hi,

I'm new here and was wondering if anyone has experience with this lens? There is one currently on the big auction site and I was wondering about its performance, image circle, etc.

It's huge and probably too heavy for many front standards. It has no diaphragm.

Johnny, johnny, when will you ever learn...

Yikes!

I thought you had me "on ignore" and were going to "have" me banned.

dude, ok...I see what it is now: you're totally gay for me--that's the only thing that explains it. You are compelled to follow me around and get as close as possible, but under the guise of NOT liking me--like gradeschoolboys who do mean things to the girls they like just to get their attention.. Dude--you're an adult--time to start acting like one, ok?

Tell you what--if you admit it in publick, then I'll go on a date with you, ok? But you gotta be man enough to admit you're infatuated with me and that's what is driving your creepy "sticky" behaviour.

Here you go, Johnny. http://www.google.com/#q=chicago+al...56,d.dmg&fp=60d6bf6661753b1c&biw=1280&bih=929

Good grief, boys... don't make me pull this thread over and make you walk for a mile.

 

[johnielvis]

ahhhh... I see..you're not gay..you're just an alcoholic...ok..I hope you get whatever help you need then. Good luck to you, but remember, them groups are ANOTHER kind of addiction too...

OH..I know now why he follows me...I do ULTRA LARGE photography and he thinks that means something else...ahhhhhh

Thanks for the information guys...

I see a Bausch & Lomb 12in Metrogon was listed, is this the same thing?
Does anyone know the image circle on this one?
