A fine lens with even illumination nearly to the edge and good sharpness to the edge, but limited coverage (~ 165 mm) allows practically no movements. Just the lens for a 4x5 wide angle box camera, but if you need movements Henri is right, you should get a modern lens with more coverage.
Many of these lenses were sold in barrel for use on aerial cameras. These have since been sold off as surplus. The late Steve Grimes bought at least 48 ex-military 75 Biogons. I believe that his successors still have some of them. I'm not sure how much they charge for one mounted in a new Copal #0 (or perhaps #1), but if you want one, ask them. The last time I asked, if I recall correctly their price was $US 1,200.
