This is for large format cameras , perhaps for wooden box. What do you want to do with this lens ?

Tessars are not necessarily the best macro lenses nor enlarger lenses by design.

The 120mm Macro AM ED Nikkor for LF is an outstanding, and now quite cheap, LF lens. Here an example shot:

Further the Schneider Macro Symmars are excellent lenses.

The best place to ask for that would be (but do a search before)

I have the 135mm version ....uncoated ! A simple 4 elements enlarger lens would probably be better ... cheaper and lighter ! I don't use these lenses for macro purposes. I prefer dedicated lenses or Enlarger lenses from Nikon, Schneider, Rodenstock, Kmz (industar 23u) . LF cameras afficionados could be happy with it ! Leave it 'em ! Mr. Green Very Happy

Right. Apo Tessars/Skopars were enlarging and process lenses, though - these do quite well for LF macro purposes, and are almost as cheap as old barrel mount Tessars in general. But they still are designed for large format, with a (compared to 35mm) huge CoC and working apertures in the 22-45 range - a 35mm crop off them would be beyond being merely diffraction limited...
