Jim, believe this lens was meant for larger formats and will soon be testing it on 5x7 i'm sure there wiill be a more pronounced softness in the corners there. It is very sharp in the center but somehow it still feels nice and soft when i look at the details in a larger print size than possible to post here.
I have a bunch of aplanats, but the only one I have shot is the Bausch & Lomb from a 1a Autographic Junior The B&L being approximately 135mm focus, but definitely of f8 max aperture. Therefore it is undersized for the 4x5 format and I wanted the soft corners.
I also have obtained a Beck 6" f5.8, a Wray WA Rectilinear 6" f16 and finally a un-named 6.5" x 8.5" f16. Methinks that Wray will be very tasty indeed on 4x5 , because that was meant for 8x10.
Blah, blah, blah
Show me some more pictures!!!

RR on 5x7
That's awesome, Jeremy.
Just curious: What focal length lens ? Somewhere around 300mm ?
Very sweet Jeremy.
oops, i went back and checked the lens used and it was a Turner-Reich 8-14-20 Series III f/6.8 convertible wide open in the 14" configuration. i was actually thinking of another image which i shot with a 180mm RR, but can't seem to locate a web copy
That's more like it.
Jim: I have an Aplanat on my list of things to experiment with. Along with about eight other lenses. Right now I am getting ready to develop my first B+W film.
