Hello Stuart,
The Wollensak is indeed a telephoto in an Alphax shutter and a rather
fine lens. There is an example photo taken with the lens attached to
a Speed Graphic of Tintern in South Wales, UK. The photos were taken
from a precarious position about two miles away in the surrounding
mountains. There are sectional blow-ups of the resulting trannie
showing the limitations to be grain of the film rather than
resolution of the lens!
The photos are on the f32.net Discussion Forum at the following URL:
