Have a couple of Zeiss Ikons.. far the best is a 9x12 Volta 1927-32 vintage . I have made a back so 5x4 sheet film can be used.

Also have a really old Zeiss 12,5 cm which I have used on my 4x5.
This lens just cuvers this size but I mostly use it for macro.

And the image quality is very nice and loads of aperture blades
