Can anyone tell me or point me to information on the Wollensak 65mm f6.8 Raptar, in regards to performance, and specifications?
Google isn't turning up anything.

Vick, for Wolly's claims see: http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/...llensak_5.html
For 2x3, one of the original issue lenses for 2x3 Crown and Century Graphics. 4/4 double Gauss type, focus wide open, stop down at least two stops to shoot.
The other original issue 65 was the 65/6.8 Angulon. The two are different designs but functionally equivalent,
I had one ages ago, never got a really sharp shot with it. Some posters on www.graflex.org report getting good results with theirs, but say that focusing is difficult. I sold mine, wouldn't buy another.
Hey Vick your 65mm Raptar marked as a wide angle? That's the only 65mm f 6.8 Raptar I'm aware of. The Raptar Ia Convertible has a max apt of f6.3 and the Raptar series IV is f6.3 and neither series have a FL option of 65mm.
If it's the Raptar WA 65mm (2 9/16") f6.8 it has 88 degrees of coverage and is meant for 3 1/4x 4 1/4 format
Yes, my Raptar is marked "Wide Angle"
Thanks for the leads.
