Now, if you are suggesting using copy lenses as 
taking lenses, you open up a universe.  I have a 
4/60 Carl Zeiss Planar for which I had Steve 
Grimes make an LTM adapter so that I could use it 
as an enlarging lens:  it certainly is the equal 
in both B&W and in color to my APO-Rodagons 
though I've not yet used it on an Ilfochrome print.

I had never thought of using this as a taking 
lens.  I have a bunch of Viso gear and a Bellows 
II and a bunch of Leica cameras.  This might be the time to try it out.
