I did my rough tests with a few post WWII lenses a couple of weeks ago, I'd like to see how a Protar behaves compared to a Tessar in terms of image contrast, flare etc, While I have prices for cameras with the two Tessars or Protar I don't have actual lens prices but adding a Protar instead of a Tessar was a very significant incfrease inprice I'd guess over twice the price of a Tessar though.
David-Lindquist hs been helpfil poining out AA had at least two Juwel cameras as well as a Linhof.AA must have thought the cameras worthwhile @D
