One of the graphics houses up there went completely digital. So I have two very clean lenses, both ILEX nu-Arc Wide Field Process Paragons; one is a 6 1/2" f:8 (a No. 134), the other is a 10 3/4" f:10 (No. 242, and weighs about 5 lbs!). > > > > These lenses are too nice to relegate to paper-weight status.
