[Leica] IMG: Old Lens, Fresh Flower

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Philippe.  As I just responded to Lluis, this was probably an 
"entry level" lens for Ross, with focal length of 8-in and a maximum 
entry pupil of 1/2-inch, hence an f/16 lens wide open, with four smaller 
Waterhouse stops.  The fact that  it will probably cover 5x7 or 8x10 
doesn't help me much.  It would have been right at home with a pneumatic 
Packard shutter and squeeze bulb.
