Just kinda putting feelers out on this.
I acquired a Goerz Dagor Series III f6.8 7-inch recently with some other items. It is in an Optimo shutter that will work with the cable release, but not the button. Serial number on lens places it in the 1910 production series. Front and rear cells are matching numbers. NOW for the question..... Kinda.
"IF" I were to place this thing for sale, is there any chance in h e double hockey sticks that it would bring enough to buy another longer focal length lens? Not a Dag or Scheidly obviously. But some bottom-feeder lens maybe?
My cameras are (obviously) the 8X10 Century (that I have obnoxed the heck out of everybody with) and a Conley 5X7 with 28 inch bellows. The Dag does indeed cover the full 8X10, but with bellows closed up to 7 inches.... DANG! If it left enough for any movements, you'd never know it by me. Same with the Conley. I am needing somewhere between a 12-15 + inch lens. Stupidly, I gave up a 12/18/24 convertible about a year ago, cause I didn't need that much lens. Oh well......
