The lens performed quite well, the negs look very sharp under the loupe, and there was good contrast in the highlights and shadows (excuse these scans...)
This lens I bought in 1995 to use on an Elwood enlarger. Now, thanks to the kind and intelligent people on this forum, I have another useful tool in the arsenal. Thanks Joe, Jon, and Ernest.
