Its not some major revelation that the dagor is overall softer that alot of lenses. I don't see anyone else selling dagors as soft either, even though many real LF dealers will tell you this. I've...

Yes I made a mistake in listing the lens using the popular concensus about the dagor. Sure I do not like the dagor design. If you read the full lens description I am not bragging about the dagor,...
If everyone is so passionate about the dagor, then get in touch with me and I'll have a modern one designed for you. You can bring in the best dagor expert to consult, since I am not into it. Anyone...
I must admit I do like to stir the dagor a bit. Its just too easy to get people ripping about the lens! I do find it amusing the emotions that arise out of slamming on the lens. People are very...
Mark I have figured out the coverage issue with the Konica 150mm lens. The front element is threaded info into the lens barrel and simply held there with adhesive. I removed one of mine to see if the...
Mark, sounds good to me. I'll just keep the one I have I guess. I will be getting another one soon and I'll compare that to the others. Its also possible that my shot was a hair closer than infinity...
Thanks for all the responses. I will sample future dagors that come my way. I am not opposed to using a dagor for its look. The simple fact is that the lens is not the sharpest in the bag. If you...
It was a berlin dagor. Maybe I should sample more but its just not worth it to me. I think the lens performed like a dagor should, but have not used others. I take a much more technical approach to...

Yep my opinion counts for diddly but I did want to get some vibrant feedback from the dagor lovers club. I know many of you love them but I simply do not, ok. You can say whatever you want about the...
I certainly agree that they are overpriced as well. Especially the longer versions of 14". The basic dagor is what would be considered today, a process lens type. Symmetrical. In fact goerz sold the...
After much pressure and advice to try a dagor for my 8x10 I finally bought a 180mm dagor. Being a wide angle sort of shooter this seemed like a good fit. Doing long exposures also lent itself to the...
Mark I am sorry that the lens does not cover. You can send it back to me and I'll send you the one I have been using that does cover. One thing I had to do with mine is mount the lens up via the...
I use a Konica 1500mm lens at infinity on 8x10 and it covers. I have the negs to prove it! I have good sharp negs that are sharp out to the corners. I was quite surprised when I mounted up the lens...
