Did you ever want to photograph as a late 19th Century photographer?

Interesting idea. Great for portrait photo's and if you get one at around $300 not too bad in terms of cost of a lens.

$300 is expensive for me, in this moment, but would love to have this lens for my speed graphic!

Nice idea but a tad expensive perhaps?

Not when you consider that a good quality lens can cost anything from $200 to $2000.

It depends. There are good/great lens below 100€ with good construction quality and fine glass, for 35mm cameras. My soviet lens are very good and cost me below 60€.
