    15" apo raptar

    I can't say for certain, but a big Alphax (a Wollensak product) would be a good bet. While that lens isn't listed at the SK Grimes website, it's also a good bet that they could make it fit into something more modern (depending on the actual size of the lens).

    I'm using #6 Packard shutters (front mounted) on a 14" R.D. Artar, a 305mm APO-Nikkor, and a 9" Copy Paragon. I haven't found a need for anything more with that big glass, but mine are used mostly in the studio with strobes...

    15" apo raptar

    I've front mounted this lens in its original barrel using an Ilex 4 and a Copal 3. All you need is to have an adapter machined. It's quite a good lens. Scroll down to the second image, which I made with this very lens in the Alabama Hills of California. Wratten G filter, T-max 100 film. http://www.phototechmag.com/landscape/index2.htm
