Look at the lens being sold out of Korea with this Wista 4x5 on ebay: LINK (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wista-SP-apo-sammar-150-5-6-horseman-6-9-holder-fuji-Quick-load-hokder-ii-/261179996780?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item3ccf8a7a6c)
The Apo-Symmar font is wrong and the lens is engraved "LENS BY GERMANY" instead of "LENS MADE IN GERMANY".
Is this a fake? Third party engraving of unlabeled lenses sold for industrial use...? Anyone have any other ideas?
