Hello Rich,

The 250mm WF Ektar is certainly an option and would do a wonderful job with 
huge amounts of coverage, however it is in a #5 shutter and weighs a fair 
bit! The advantage of the G-Clarons and Kowas of this world is that they 
are relatively small and light and will fit in a modern Copal #1 shutter.

However if we start to talk about the "look and feel" of images shot with a 
modern lens and those shot with a classic older lens then that would be a 
different matter.......

Cheers,
            Clive
