Coverage of 19 inch Red Dot Artar?

[David Lindquist]

Morley Baer liked the 19" Red Dot Artar (used, of course, on his 8 X 10 Ansco.) In his book Adobes In the Sun he says "If I have a favorite, the 19" must be it."

Yes and verified. Many years ago, Morely Baer's lenses were on consignment sale at Calumet San Francisco. None of Morely's lenses were beauty puffs, they were ALL nicely used with the passage of time. Not only the 19" RDA was in the set, there were a few other RDAs in shorter focal lengths, a few Dagors, 121mm Super Angulon and a few others no longer remembered.

The low contrast color thing appeared in Morely's book "Wilder Shore"..

Depending upon when Grimes did the work (as in more recently) it must have been a shutter supply issue because Grimes put my 19" Red Dot Artar into a standard Copal #3 shutter probably 10 years or more ago. Agree it is a great lens with tremendous coverage. I use it on 12x20, 8x20 and 11x14 as well as 8x10.

Yes, it was a shutter that I already had and I asked if it would fit…..it did.
