Hi,
I recently bought a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 4.5/300 that I plan to use on a full plate (6.5 x 8.5 inches) camera for making daguerreotypes. Since dags are so slow I am trying to find a fast lens that will cover this size. The lens doesn't seem coated. My questions: when was this lens manufactured? Can I expect a decent quality from it? Any other suggestions for fast lenses? I also have some process lenses (apo-ronar) but these are slower. Thanks, gregory
