I've been to another camera fair and spent the grand total of £14-00 (U.K. pounds) on four lenses. My main question is about a 15 inch Ilex process Paragon (seems to be single coated). Will it cover 8 x 10? From the info that I've dredged up it appears to cover 5 x 7, but 8 x 10?
There is a Schneider Xenar 135mm which dates from 1921 by the serial number, in a dial Compour. Will it cover 5 x 4?
I have a Salex Anastigmat f4.5 135mm in barrel. Salex was a trade name used by a London company which traded in the 1920's. Has anybody tried one of these lenses?
The final lens is a Kodak f4.5 127mm Anastigmat in a working? Kodak no.2 Supermatic shutter (made in The U.S.A.). I assume that this is a press camera lens. EY 838 is engraved on the lens, am I correct in assuming that this dates the lens to 1940. has anybody any comments on this lens?
I know that I'm getting boring but as there's only one more local fair before Christmas please bear with me.
