    But to answer the real question: the lens is only good if it is mounted on a camera and there is film in the holder.

    All seriousness aside, there are a number of Wollensak catalogs available to view at . . . http://www.cameraeccentric.com/info.html

    You might find your lens there.

    And if it helps, I never met a lens I didn't like. I've got a Series IV, it's little known, but worked well for me.
