What about for mono films? I think because of this problem I
would never use this lens for color films!


I took it that Richard was addressing B&W. If aberation occurs in a
particular color for which the film is sensitive, a correcting filter will
help.

Black & White film is sensitive to color (obviously) and not equally
sensitive to all colors. Filters are important.


In my early day of LF photography

I once bought an ARTAR that was supposed to be a good lens and covered
8x10, it sucked royally for B&W all kinds of ghosting on b&w even when
pointed 180 degrees away from the sun on a cloudy day. The ******* I
bought from extracted a 50 dollar restock fee out the 350 dollar check I
bought with even after I had to pester him for about 3 months to refund
my money.

I can think of only one nice thing to say about him: Cocks---er, may he
rest in pieces.
