I wish it were larger.

Thanks Daniel, added.
Nice.
Wow. That certainly is a whopper :) I wonder what happened to the lens in this Dallmeyer 8D thread?
I've been using this 305mm Metrogon since 2010 on my 8x20. It weighs 6# without the red/yellow graduated center filter(s). I haven't seen a 305mm offered for sale in many years. The 75mm and 150mm versions are pretty common. The 305 fits on a 6" lensboard. To accommodate the weight I incorporated a strut to support the aged components of the Kodak 2D I converted to 8x20. Waterhouse stops are the only way the apeture can be controlled. There is no room between the lens cells to fit anything in there. I use an 8x10 darkslide as a shutter. The product sheet has most of the info you were looking for. The small view camera lens (for size comparison) is a 135mm Schnieder on a 4x5 Wista lensboard.

There is enough room for Waterhouse stop between the cells.
The darkslide shutter goes over the front element. The attached photo shows an identical application with a different lens and 4x5 darkslide. I don't have a photo of my darkslide shutter on the Metrogon, but the design is the same as the photo but using an 8x10 darkslide.

There is the possibility of a shutter between Metrogon middle cells. I had one on 8x10. Sorry I don't have more pictures but here is one. It fit. One fixed aperture but that was to maintain optimal resolution at infinity, a rule for certifying mapping lenses during its time.

I have another of similar design, but more complicated for very high shutter speeds.
Very smart. Simple, ergonomic.Quote:

For those 'on the other side of the pond' who might have missed it, how about this?
