Want to Buy WTB Large and fast portrait lens for 11x14 ultra large format

[Lukecollodion]

Hi,

I'm a wet plate photographer wanting to find a suitable lens for shooting 1:1 portraits on an 11x14 ultra large format.

Ideally, I would like it to be fast which means around f4.5. The focal length would be close to 48cm or 19".

I'm open to seeing what you might have available. Lenses that come to mind would be a Euryscop series 3 no. 6 or 7, Heliar 48cm, Tessar, xenar, Bausch and Lomb 14x17, Graf Variable, Cooke, Ross, Dallmeyer etc etc.

I understand the quality and signature varies greatly from what I have listed, but basically if it's big and fast feel free to show me.

Fair market price would be appreciated.

Thanks

Luke
