Any opinions on this lens. I am thinking of buying a kit from a fellow Large format member. Its an 8x10 Calumet with this lens.

Thanks

Excellent lens. Mine is in a Compur 2, which is a PITA.

The first 240mm I bought for 8x10 was a Symmar in Copal 3 and I didn't keep it long because there wasn't much coverage. I subsequently traded it for a 250mm Wide Field Ektar (even though I hate the #5 shutters). You might want to check some of the websites for max coverage.
