Kodak Wide Field Ektar f:6.3 7 1/2"

[k_jupiter]

Any ideas what this will cover? 5x7, 8x10?

What about the quality of the Kodak Commercial Ektar f:6.3 12"?

Anyone shoot these lens?

According to this handy sheet, http://www.largeformatphotography.info/lenseslist.html, Kodak WF Ektar 6.3 7-1/2" covers a whopping 318mm. The 12" covers 380.

I have the 203 Ektar, and it is an amazing lens—super smooth look, and sharp.

I have a larger brother 14" Commercial Ektar. The quality certainly impresses me! These were commonly used in advertising and commercial catalog production (hence the name "Commercial") up until the early 70's---maybe even longer, and were well corrected for color.

I have used my 190mm/7.5" Wide field ektar on my 8x10" camera and it's great. Stopped down beyond f.16 it covers with room for minor movements, and for contact printing it's high quality to the edges. I bought it on ebay a few years ago and since then it's my absolute favourite.
