?? What exactly is so desirable on them??

George, why do photographers value Aviogons, Biogons, Lamegons, Sferogons, Super Aviogons, and the like? They are photogrammetric, have relatively even illumination, are very sharp, and some cover >= 90 degrees.

Do you know if this lens was/is made for the Chinese military or just for civilian aerial mapping applications?

All I know about 'em is in the document the link points to. I don't know, in particular, whether the lenses are knockoffs of Soviet knockoffs of Wild lenses or whether the Chinese stole direct from the source.
