Hi Folk,

That would be great news indeed.

I have a 15cm Voightlander Apo Lanthar on my Linhof. I've had it 12 or so 
years but haven't given it much of a work-out until recently. From first 
results 
I was inclined to think that this 50-year old lens was rubbish.

Then I noticed that good examples are regularly going for more than $US 
1000 on eBay. That is  $NZ 3,000. !!

So I decided that the problem with my lens might actually be situated 
BEHIND the film - and so it has proved to be. It is a great performer.

Voightlander bear watching, if past performance is anything to go by.
