[LargeFormat] 24 inch goertz question

[David Galway]

There's a 24" Goerz Apochromatic Artar barrel up on eBay (either Large
Format, or Lenses for Large Format). I'd get the link, but it's Friday,
it's morning, it's pouring watery slush from the skies outside, and I
have not yet even smelled my coffee ...


regards, good luck
