    The Goerz "Six In One Multifocus Lens and Shutter Set". The leaflet I have is dated 7/63. This does not appear on my December 1964 or March 1966 Goerz price lists.

    (I scanned the leaflet but was not successful in adding it to this post)

    18" Wide Field Ektar? I've seen and used a few low-production, specialized Kodak lenses, but never heard of that one. If it existed it would cover 20x24.

    If it was never in a catalog, how to know such a lens even (possibly) exists?

    "Hypergon 200mm. I have never seen a photo of such a lens"
    I remember seeing one for sale, perhaps on Ebay, or through Lens and Repro in NYC. My memory is a little foggy, but I think Wisner may have made a custom one-off 20"x24" fixed focus camera for it, the camera and lens were probably offered together, IIRC.

    According to this https://www.largeformatphotography.i...l=1#post627937 old post, it has been at least once listed on eBay.

    How about a lens I can't find in any catalog? Sadly not mine:

    I've actually seen two 1200 Fuji A's up for sale in the past ten years (maybe the same one twice?), and maybe three 600's. I had a hard enough time just finding two clean 360 A's for my own use, but ended up selling the reserve one to someone else.

    I saw a Hypergon wrapped in plastic behind the counter at Midwest Photo, but I didn't touch it. It had the complete spinner fan mechanism, and clean mint rubber tubing and bulb.

    Glenn Evans once had a 90mm Hypergon. http://glennview.com/
