In addition to the 19 and 24" Artars I have for the 14x17 I just picked up today a 16x13 E. Suter Basel Aplanat B #6 with one waterhouse stop. I also have a like new blue coated Ilex 375mm F-7 lens that looks very sharp on the ground glass. Going to use them this weekend in Joshua Tree.

Excellent! I can't wait to see your creation and hopefully prints you'll make with them. Sorry I missed your show in OC - a couple of friends convinced me to go to Death Valley that weekend.

I'll be sure to post some images taken with these lenses both on the 14x17 and the 8x10. I made a reducing board for the 14x17 and mounted these lenses on my Seneca Boards so I can use them on the 8x10, 11x14 and 14x17.

Not surprised that the house is still standing. There were several old homes in Davos that were very well maintained when I lived there many, many winters ago. He made beautiful lenses with great coverage.
