A 10"WF Ektar can be had for considerably less than 1800 bucks. I see them in shutterbug often, in the 500-700 range. Very good lenses.

The mystery lens is likely a Goerz 8.25" Multi Coated Gold Dot Dagor made in Swi tzerland. Your can buy them from reputable dealers, such as George Ury in Illino is (check Shutterbug) for about $1100 in pristine condition. This lens is not to be confused with the Goerz of America version. This Swiss made lens is somewhat rare, but shows up on the used market. While I cannot vouch for 11x14, it shoul d. I used it on 8x10 and had coverage for 2" shifts without loss of image or qua lity. A less expensive option is the Kowa Graphic 210mm f9--not the Symmetregon (sp?) f6.3. The f9 Kowas will cover will easily cover 8x10 with moves to spare and fit in a #1 Copal. Their 270 f9 will cover 7x17 if you play with it properly . Be careful thought, like any other lens, ther are some clunker Kowas out there . Good luck.
“You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?”
Just see this question about photmall's mystery lens
I guess I know what it is: JML 209mm f/8 !! Yes, it cover 11x14..barely.
You want one ? I know the source (I got two from him, both new cost MUCH less than 2500)
Sorry meant to say:
Cost much less than 1800 (which Glenn Evans ask for)
While I have an idea which lens this is I will try to check and post the resullt if I'm right tomorrow.
But I can give you this information.
