    Nikkor 480 barrel

    I seek opinions on the Nikkor 480 f/9 barrel lens. I expect it to be quite good but I'd appreciate some insight from anyone who has used it or one of its Nikkor barrel cousins.

    It is super sharp lens. Here is an example I took with mine with a 4x5 reducing back on a Kodak 2D 8x10. I have enlarged it to 16x20 and love its textures etc. BTW, I think sk grimes can install it into a copal 3 shutter.
