If this lens has become "exotic", maybe I should sell it to someone who needs the coverage more than I will (the B&L catalog at cameraeccentric claims 18x22 inch coverage at small stops!), put the money towards affording the camera, and be content with my 305 G-Claron.
Do you lens/ULF experts think I'd regret selling the Protar? And how the heck do you even figure out what one of these is worth? I can't find any reference to one on ebay.
Thanks,
Clyde Rogers
