Gary -

I've been using this very lens since the early 70s for my 6x6 work.  I
have never had any complaints about its performance, although I've not
tested it against the more modern APO lenses so can't give you a side by
side comparison.  If you got a good buy on it, I'd just enjoy it.

Cheers,
Kip
