This http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/l10514.html looks interesting, even more so at the price. Does anyone know what the lens was made for, and if it will cover 4x5 with good definition?

It says its out of a MF portrait camera. Perhaps a Camerz.

Probably covers 4x5 only at close distances since its intended for 70mm rollfilm.

Looks like an interesting project for the price.

Interesting, and a sweet price. Might be fun with roll film back. But am I missing something... I don't see aperture scale in any of the pics. Is it fixed wide open?

The description says f/4.5 - f/5.6. Fixed aperture. Not for serious use, alas.

Ooops. I lokked at that ad twice and failed to see the "fixed aperture" statement. Thanks for reading for me, Dan! :)
