hi all,
attached are some pictures of some "new to me" lenses that came out of the infamous lens mine...:) :)
i am looking for any and all info that i can get about them. i am interested in their coverage, performance and value.
i learned that the Hermagis and C. Berthiot are Aplanat designs. they are about 22-25 inch focal lengths, i will try them soon to confirm. they are old and BIG. in the attached photo from L-R they are Voitlander 7B, a Dallmeyere 2a (already mounted to a kodak 2D by our favorite soft focus guy, Jim Galli), the Hermagis Apl No. 2 and last is the C. Berthiot.

you will all be happy with this story.....the "Little Green Man" that i got these lenses from told me he got them minutes before they were to hit a 12 yard dumpster.....isn't that the type of story we all love to hear? :) :)
thanks for the help. please note that is some of the best IPA beer available!
