After my last post I hope to get both emotional and empirical data about Dagors for use in LF and ULF from people who know and love this lens.

I would like to own and use one of these lenses of legend, I am throwing in my hat; I am in the market. What advice can be offered?

I shoot B&W, 8x10 and will probably build a 7x17 this winter. I read someone's comment that the G-Clarons are like the Dagors in their "look". I have a couple of uncoated Heliars that have a "look" to them and one Emil Busch Rapid Aplanat that I love. I am not against lens coating, just making it clear that it is not always necessary. Can anyone offer a comparisons or advice?

Cheers again!
