It can be made most. it is necessary to make small ABS shavings of plastic (as cheese for a pizza) and to dissolve this shaving in acetone. The mix as a toothpaste of black color turns out. This mix also it is possible to glue. Should dry not less than 24 hours only.

The 125/2 Xenon was made for an aerial camera (Volk Handkammer) that shot 6x6 on 70 mm film. It doesn't have cover more than 80 mm. That it doesn't cover much more than 80 mm isn't a surprise.

7x9cm, as I recall.

Oh no! Wrong again. Thanks very much for the correction.

I have a 12.5cm f/2 as well but the rear group was toast. I discovered that using just the front cell makes it something like a 360mm telephoto with 250mm bellows draw f/5.6 soft-focus lens. Kinda neat on my Speed Graphic but a little longer than I like so I'll probably sell it as a one-off camera on ebay soon.

Seeing these pictures I wish I could have done what I wanted and used it for a fast wide-angle! The fall-off doesn't bother me.

This lens not rare and inexpensive. It is possible to buy still. And it sharp enough but contrast small, but it is easy for correcting in the computer

Prices are all over the place on ebay. I would like one but not at the prices they go for now. Maybe if I see one cheap enough I'll buy it. The one I have was from overseas but the seller neglected to mention the iris was destroyed and there was a missing element.
