Yet another lens question...

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but if so my searching hasn't found it. There currently is one of those on ebay in an Alphax shutter at an attractive price at the moment. Aside from being a bit of a pain to focus on the ground glass due to the speed, can anyone tell me anything about this lens? I've been able to find information on the 90/6.8, but not this one.

I'd be interested in using it on an Anniversary Speed Graphic. Is there sufficent coverage? What is it like optically?

If there is a URL I missed a pointer will be more than sufficent.

Thanks!

William

lotsa coverage for 4x5. There's also a 159/12.5 that's been discussed a lot on usenet. Opinions differ ...
