I never heard about my Helvetia Extra Rapid before I bought a 24x30 cm camera some years ago.
I grabbed the lens off the camera, and forgot it; but thisadays I was in the mood to give it a try on my 30x40 cm /12x16" Reisekamera.

Some separations,yes, no further informations onto the barrel, and it came with one whaterhouse stop f/8 which means wide open; the FL has something around 500mm, and the lens covers well, at least with ratio 1:1.
It feels that the Helvetia may become my favourite lens, especially after re-arranging the lens groups.
Sorry for nonretouching the contact print at this time:
