I have this lens (see title) which is in what appears to be a Compur 2 shutter - black, two disk controls - larger is shutter speed, smaller selects T, B and normal. The serial number of the lens is in the 3 millions, which dates it at around 1952.
Beyond that, I have been able to find very little about it. I bought it on a view camera from eBay several years ago. I got caught out by my wife and sold the camera, minus lens, at a local photo swap meet for more than I paid for the whole lot. No big loss as I had bought it as a 5x4, but it turned out to be a homemade something smaller. Not what I wanted.
Now I want to build or buy a camera to put it on. Does anybody know what sort of coverage it has? Will it go as far as 10x8? Is it any good? The threads on the shutter, BTW, are about 46mm front and 49mm back.
