Happened upon this image of the set of lenses circa mid 1980's for the 4x5 Sinar F. In this lens set from long ago was the 35" Goerz Red Dot Artar mounted/tested/set up into a Ilex# 5 shutter by Melles Griot. This was long before others were mounting barrel lenses into shutter.
Found a lens test color transparency from this 35" RDA. The Agfachrome color transparency has color died pretty bad, still the scanned image gives some idea as to lens performance.
Cropped scanned areas.
Eventually a Tele Nikkor (nil improvement, except for reduced bellows/camera extension) replaced the 35" RDA, eventually went back to using APO process lenses in barrel with a Sinar shutter which is what remains to this day.
