[LargeFormat] Goerz Artars

[Eve Girard]

Me, too.  I can't resist and must chime in.  I have an elderly 14" Artar -
not even a Red Dot - in barrel mated to a Packard shutter.  It is a very
fine lens that I have used with great success.  Since it was designed for
reproduction, you can have the best of both worlds.  I do.
