Recently picked up a very clean 9 1/2 Dagor F6.8
It's labeled C.P. GOERZ AM. OPT. CO.
serial # 809243
it does not have a gold dot, but the back of the mounting flange is gold or brass covered. It's not mounted in a shutter. The F-stops seem smooth but don't have click stops.
Anyone know what date this would be from? I've done a brief comb thru of links and couldn't see something that pointed to this high of a serial number.
The person I got it from said they they had used as an enlarging lens for 5x7 B&W printing in the 80s. Any idea how this would compare to a modern 240 as an enlarging lens?
I'm more tempted to have S.K Grimes mount it in a shutter and use it on my 5x7. I think someone said it was less sharp then a modern Fuji 240 when movements are used? It's also pretty heavy for such a small lens...
