I need a 90 mm summacron  for my  m2   (drop me a line  off list if anyone
has one)
Yes  I know   the 105  f 2.5 nikkor   you  speak  of great sharp portrait
length lens   for the nikon  F!
we have a small 105 mm red dot Goertz  we used for  copy   work on 2   1/4
   x   3  1/4   in compur shutter
the one on the Robertson process camera I  used in the 70s   was   18 inch
focal length as I  remember.

then,
 Zeiss made a lot of  lenses, some of which were great.
 Goerz made a few of the greatest  lenses ever made.
 For personal use, I'm looking for Leitz  Summicron in all focal lengths,  
and
Nikkor 105mm that was made in mid  1960s.
  And, if I can ever get a 4x5 digital back, I want a
Goerz  Dagor.
 All out of my price range. 
Personally I need a nice ASPH  28mm or 35mm Summicron.  I have the original
Nikkon 35mm f/2, one of the  very first made, it?s been Ai?d, and it?s an
AMAZING lens.
The Goerz  Dagor?s are actually pretty cheap at the moment, I?ve been
thinking about them  for my 8x10.  I?m using a mixture of modern lenses on my
4x5.
Somehow I don?t ever expect a digital 4x5 back to be  affordable.  I know
one Photographer that has one, and it?s really only  useable for reproduction
work, in the studio.  Keep in mind that digital  backs that can cover 4x5
or larger are scanning backs.  Have you  considered adapting a scanner as
one?  I?ve seen in the past where folks  have done that.  Personally except for
one project, I shoot B&W film  when I?m shooting 4x5 or 8x10, I then
process and print it myself.  For  the 8x10 (and hopefully eventually 11x14), I
only shoot B&W, and only  contact  print.
