[largeformat] value on 11x14 lens

[Ted Harris]

If this is an insurance question and they have a full replacement  
value policy then the simplest way to approach it is to look at the  
prices of the only two triple convertible lenses available in the new  
market today:  1) the plasmat set available from Ron Wisner and the  
Cooke Optics triple convertible with a street price of 2500 + the  
cost of a #3 shutter.  Realistically this is not the same lens as the  
focal lengths are different and Wisner usually can't deliver.  If you  
aren't talking full replacement value then the value depends on the  
condition before the drop ... was it scrungy?  Was it perfect, etc?   
Check with lens & Repor for a value on the Gundlach ... they are high  
so that will be good for insurance purposes.
