It will be lovely. Quite sharp.

If a little low in contrast. That can be a good thing, though, if you're shooting E-6.

A 19 RDA was my standard product lens for many years. I never had contrast problems in the studio but always flagged lights from hitting the lens direct. In the field I always shaded it ann never had a problem. It has huge coverage and internal bellows light scattering is more a problem than internal lens flare.

Great lens!

I have one for sale right now that is the very specimen that Don shot in his studio.

Keep the lens. How much for the flange?:)
I have the same setup, minus mounting hardware.

FYI: SKGrimes' "fits" page (http://skgrimes.com/fits/index.htm) shows the Copal 3 as the 1st choice for mounting a 19" Artar, but they don't show an RDA. I'd have to think there's a difference in the size of the cell threading. On the RDA I have, there's only a few 1000th of an inch difference between the male cell threads and the shutter's female threads, and they overlap. I suppose, if you really, really wanted to do it, you could shave off some of the male threads so that they don't overlap. I'll leave that kind of magic to Grimes.
