Spend half that amount on more film & chemistry. That will be much much better than another lens that will do very little above what your 12"f4.5 Heliar will do.

Plus we'll get to see more of your excellent work.

Emil,

Somebody on this forum has/had this lens a while and he wanted a value of it before selling it. Check/search and you may want to contact him if he has not sold it.
