Yep, Dagor77 aka CP Goerz.
Axle,
I've bought a couple of lenses and some misc. gear from dagor77 and its all been top notch stuff.
I can tell you that it is a great comfort knowing that my 30cm dopple anastigmat was retrieved from the wreckage of the Hindenburg, where it was save saved from destruction by being carefully inserted in the brassiere of a buxom youiong emigre russian baroness who was saved by being gently lowered to the ground by that famous 19th century landscape photographer Ansel Arbus who, suffering from double vision and at the last minute leaped for a rope to descend to his own safety but unfortunately grabbed at the non-existant rope instead. It has sincerely helped my art since I reserve this lens for only my best images, knowing that I owe it to the memory of Ansel Arbus to use it wisely and to the very best of my abilities.
Cheers!

Hi John.
What a scoop, a fantastic history for a lens, it just has to be true sure it must be worth a mint!
hey your right i am new around here.would be an honour to meet this character.
Love the ads.
Are apo tessars really supposed to stink?
A friend uses them on his 8x10 for contact printing (with a packard shutter) and i always thought the results were incredible. I assumed enlargements would be terrible, but that's a different story.
Dagor77 has a running "vendetta" against Schneieders as a foil to the beloved Dagors. I've found the center of tessars to be very sharp, but the edges are not so hot.
I bought the sharpest lens I own from Andrew.
