I am looking for lens for 15x6 inch camera.
I am thinking on process lens like:

Taylor Hobson Cooke 14" f9 Apotal Process Lens ( for 70 pounds)

Would like to have a bit wide lens. Anyone have any suggestions? Or even a spear lens.

The 305mm G-Claron (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=67472) would allow excellent movements and also a pleasingly wide field.

A 250mm Kodak Wide Field would also be a fine choice but begins to look pretty wide, and a 183mm Protar Series V would cover, as would a 165mm Super Angulon.

The Apotal is a narrow angle lens, might illuminate 6x15 but can't be counted on to put good image in the corners. Apotal is another way of spelling Apo-Tessar.
