    This WWII aerail lens when reporposed, is desirable and sought after.

    Large format lenses can live on after they are repurposed. Such is the life of the Kodak Aero Ektar 178 mm f/2.5 Lens. originally found in large WWII aerial cameras, they now live on repurposed to medium and large format cameras, like the 4x5 Speed Graphic. The Speed graphic has a Focal Plane shutter, meaning it doers not require a shutter mounting with the lens, and since the Kodak Aero Ektar 178 mm f/2.5 lens has no shutter, it is a perfect match. Fast at 2.5, this makes for interesting short depth-of-field photos, especially portraits. This is a desirable and sought after lens.

    Not sharp wide open for wet collodion. May be great for film.

    I bought this lens because it is fast wide open, which I need for wet plate collodion. Unfortunately, like most lenses, it is not sharp until you stop it down a couple stops. At f/2.5 I don't really think it is acceptable. I will work with it a bit more, but I would not say it is my go-to lens. I have heard it is great for film work. But I don't use it for that.
