[LargeFormat] Seen on eBay

[Tim Atherton]

well Schneider doesn't list it as covering 11x14 (at f16 anyway):

http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/su
per-angulon/data/8-165mm.html

I've always thought of it as a nice, (but big, heavy and expensive) WA for
8x10 - and no, I don't have one.

I guess it may cover 11x14 at smaller apertures? But it may be getting soft
at the corners by then?

Not listed here either:

But Clyde Butcher seems to use one on his, but the prints doesn't appear to
be from the full 11x14.

The few pix I've seen taken with one on 8x10 seem remarkably distortion
free.
