Has anyone had any experience with these Japanese lenses? They would seem interesting due to their small size and weight--do the tessars or telephotos fit Crowns?

Thanks for your suggestion. I had already checked out that table; they really studied only the widefields. The measurements looked "OK". In the comparisome tables, they seemed to like the tessars and teles (they made it to tables)but...no experience cited, and no idea if these fit/function well in Graflex cameras (Crown in particular]. There are a number of vague comments on these lenses in various sites, but very little "I own one, like it, love how sharp..." The weight and price are appealing, but would hate to waste dollars on poor quality stuff....Anyone used any of these? Do they fit, and allow the camera to fold/close?
