Umm, ignorance? Stupidity? The desire to have large pieces of glass to

I really can't say I've run into all that much prejudice against
Tessars. The large format f/9 Nikkors are Tessar-types and they have a
killer rep. In terms of pix, just about everything shot on Speed
Graphics over the years have been shot with Tessar-type lenses.
Generally, modern photographers look for lens speed more than anything
else, and that may have a great deal to do with such an ill-informed
prejudice. At f/8, you would be hard pressed to see the difference
between a good MF Tessar and just about any other MF lens...
