14" Gold Dot Dagor

[shigehiro_ishii2]

I'm considering to buy Sch. 14" Gold Dot Dagor f/8. Does it cover

11x14 ? What's the image circle ? My 14" Commercial Ektar doesn't have sufficent coverage for my 11x14.

Thanks for your help.

I can't help you very much but <a

static link </a>might help you. The 2nd and 3rd comments are the ones

you are looking for. The lens you are talking about was also produced

under Schneider later on, I believe. So you might want to contact to

schneider optics too. There was also a catalog for Gold Dot dagor

(Golden dagor?). <a

href="http://www.photomall.com/gelens.htm">Glennview</a> is selling

the catalog. And <a

comment by Michael Buchmeier</a> might also help.

Ishii-san ; this is not an answer to your question, I just wanted to

know what sources you used in Japan for large format photography. I

live in Tokyo, and use a 4x5 camera, but would like to move to 8x10,

or larger. Thanks in advance.

I have the lens in question. At least I have the Swiss made version

of it. It covers 11x14 with some movement but I don't know the circle

size, and barely 7x17 with no movements. Tack sharp. All in all I

love it.
