 Linguistic Variation in Eastern Indonesia: the Alor and Pantar Project (AAPP)
All of the indigenous languages of Alor and Pantar (except for one: Bahasa Alor) are non-Austronesian (often called “Papuan”).
Bahasa Alor is an Austronesian language, structurally related to Lamaholot spoken on the island of Flores, and brought to the area by Muslim immigrants, probably originating from the same island.
On Pantar, and along the north-western parts of Alor it functioned as a local lingua franca.

 APUG Forums - Antique Goerz lens info requested
Pantars were "Symmetric convertible anastigmats", which means that the two cells will have approximately the same focal length.
Ole - The front cell of the pantar specified 240mm - the rear cell does not have anything written on it.
I think eur300 is a bit more than I'd be willing to pay - but if the Pantar is good (and 240mm combinde FL) I might be willing to part with half that for that lens alone and 150 for the other two doesn't seem so bad.

In pantar, the pan takes its place as an instrument equal in status to the other instruments.
Percussion and the marriage between the sitar and the pan are of paramount importance, but Patasar says the percussion must compliment the melody.

The Whitfords have been diving the strait between Pantar and Alor since 1992 and have discovered many first class dive sites.
Dive spot-names like "The Bullet" and "Sharks Gallore" give some hints what diving in Alor is like: Big fish and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention not to loose your mask and regulator.
As the direction and intensity of the currents is changing quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.
