A couple of test photos from a 178mm Aero Ektar I recently liberated from a Kodak K-24 aerial reconnaissance camera. I have mounted it to a Speed Graphic. This particular K-24 was shipped from the US in 1945 for use by the Royal Air Force, but it never saw service so these are the first photos captured though this lens, even though it is 73 years old...! .The shallow depth of field is astounding, it's reminiscent of a noctilux for large format.
