[LargeFormat] super angulon

[Les Newcomer]

there is some debate as to whether Linhof was able to pick and choose 
which of the lenses got the Linhof name, But rest assured the original 
purchaser paid a whole lot of money for this lens. I have the same lens 
without the pedigree (no Linhof or Technika) and its a very good lens, 
it was my prime lens for years. They did make a more expensive lens that 
was one stop faster, a whole lot bigger and more expensive, but that 
doens't mean yours was cheap by any means. More the case, the 5.6 SA 
wasn't around yet, and/or it wouldn't fit inside a Technika for shear 
size.
