Would this lens fit to my Crown? Is it a very good lens?

Philippe;

When you ask if a certain lens will fit your camera (Crown, Speed etc.) it helps if you say which size camera you have. The lens boards for the 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 (6x9) cameras are smaller than those of the larger sizes, therefore some lenses are too large for the smaller lens boards but will fit the larger cameras.

Look on Google; I found a few posts on photo.net.

One person said it had bad lateral color so use a yellow filter for b/w.

Another person said he was happy with it. It covers 4x5 and more than one person inferred it was a practical and economical alternative to a Grandagon type, although not as good.

I can't help with size question.

Thanks! My Crown is a 4x5.
Can I use this lens with a 6x12 rollfilm back?
