I'm looking to acquire a wide angle lens for my 8X10 and I don't want anything too "modern" (IE: clean and flawless) in terms of its optics. I plan on using it mainly for wet plate work, so I have been eyeing this Wollensak Symmetrical 7": https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wollensak-8...19.m1438.l2649
So, can anyone tell me what to expect from this lens? Is it junk, or will it give me some reasonable results for wet plate usage? Things like mild vignetting, rushing at the edges/sharpness drop-off, and that sort of thing are acceptable image characteristics. I have also sourced a 7" Wide Field Ektar, but I'm thinking it may be more of a lens than I need for what I am planning.
Thanks for any feedback you can give!
Paul
