Hi there
can anyone give me information on the following lens;

It's a J.C. Sommerville "Number 6"(?) Lens, number 2903 "16x20"

I think according to this page it's a 24" f/8 lens?

Item number 371232030292 on the bay

Last I checked it had been sold, I was watching it and considered bidding... is there a reason it went for such a low price compared to other brass lens? I'm just trying to get a grasp on the general market of lenses like this before I make biddings.....
I know it's not a super fast lens, but the coverage, to me, would make it a pretty attractive option as a landscape lens? Or am I wrong?

Thanks
