[LargeFormat] lens

[Les Newcomer]

the clarion has a great reputation as an apo lens. it will be dark as 
most graphics lenses are slow, this should have decent movements.

the 127 ektar is a lengendary lens. it was designed to cover 3x4 but 
covers 4x5 barely, don't expect any movements and the corners can be 
soft at larger apertures. It's reputed to have the best color rendition 
of all the ektars.

The two lenses are at least a generation apart.  Ektars have a date code 
in the first two letters of the serial number

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
C A M E R O S I T Y

THUS A LENS MADE IN 1940 WILL BE EY. 50s generations will start with R 
and rare 60s lenses will start with an O.
