Hi Folk,
That would be great news indeed.
I have a 15cm Voightlander Apo Lanthar on my Linhof. I've had it 12 or so
years but haven't given it much of a work-out until recently. From first
results
I was inclined to think that this 50-year old lens was rubbish.
Then I noticed that good examples are regularly going for more than $US
1000 on eBay. That is $NZ 3,000. !!
So I decided that the problem with my lens might actually be situated
BEHIND the film - and so it has proved to be. It is a great performer.
Voightlander bear watching, if past performance is anything to go by.
