Does any one have experience with the legendry Voigtlander Apo Lanthar?
Does any one know why they reach such high prices.
Regards,
Marvin.
P.S. SMILE PHOTOGRAPHY IS FUN!

Peter, no pain involved - I am very careful about

quite a few better than described. The only two times
I have taken a risk were on the two 'Cords, both with
new sellers, but the tone of the listings was right in
each case.
