The 135mm is rather short for a 4x5 camera and I think the fastest are f/5.6 whether Nikon, Schneider or Rodenstock. The fastest is the 90mm Nikon at f/4.5 that I have found. Ilex can be found on eBay, but not in the focal length you mention. My 210m...
Yeah, Detroit will miss him. That said, if I were Anaheim, I would not have given him 2 years, just a one year deal. Plus, it was pretty high. Close to 6 million per I think.
All I can tell you about Schneider is... the newer and less money you are making, the more miles you will have. When you start making more money per mile, you will see less miles, but you'll still be out for a long time... just spending more time sit...
