Hi Lee:
Mine came out of a vertical process camera as well. It's actually an
Ultragon from the Eskofot machine. I've also seen them marked Eskofot
and Geragon.
It covers 8x10 fine, just a little too small for 11x14. I've been doing
11x14 mostly and the only picture that I've taken with the 210mm and
subsequently scanned, is this one which is about 2 years old.

The chrome looks a heck of a lot better than the jpeg. I've learned a
lot more about scanning in the last year or so... when I get a chance,
I'm going to rescan this and several other 8x10 chromes.
