             Mine was a spare from Justin Scott of Melbourne - it coupled
nicely with my SL and now with the
             Canon 20D - there are two versions - the Wetzlar and the
Midland one - Justin had it CLA'd before
             sending it to me

             Justin if you are reading this - I yield the technicalities to
your expert advice

Are there users or those familiar with Hektor 12.5cm?

Does the lens perform well?  I've searched the web a bit, and read of a good
reputation for sharpness.

Is it only for Visoflex usage?   Bit of a pain, but workable.

What about its coatings.  Was coating damage or degradation a concern with
this lens?  Did it have a reputation for internal coating degradation?

Anyone want to part with theirs?

Vick
