I have a 3x4 Pacemaker Speed that has a 135mm Optar in a Graphex full synchrmatic shutter (lens serial #678693). I can get adequate sharpness for 8x10 enlargement and a very nice image quality. This lens I believe came original with the camera and both camera and lens most likely date to the early 1950's. Regards, Dave |
