Interest in a new Hypergon?

Hey folks, I was approached by a fellow large format enthusiast about bringing a new Hypergon lens to market in 4x5 and 8x10 format. If you don't know what a Hypergon is, you really should. It is one of the widest if not *the* widest Field of View large format lens ever made, with no...

One of the links was to an interesting and educational 1913 Goerz Catalog (PDF) with details on the Hypergon (Catalog p.35):

There are other really nice old catalogs on this website as well:

I look forward to seeing one of the new ones. I’ve seen a couple of the originals but never had an opportunity to shoot with one.

No sample photos...hmmmm...
I just e-mailed a friend in HK to let me know what he thinks.

Has anyone tried this yet? It seems inexpensive enough - I have owned the original 120 and currently have the original 90, fine lenses.

This really interests me, I've been fascinated by these for years. Nowhere on there site do they mention the coverage. It would have to easily cover 8x10 to work for me. If it does at that price I'll buy one.

The original certainly did, but with very little room for movement. This one appears to be the same lens design. Judging from the comments in the forum posted above, it works but needs modifications.
