OK and tiny lens. I bought mine new in 1993 and it was then stolen. Performance I was never that impressed with it on my 4 x 5. I always felt it had a bit of light falloff in the corners, which is what you should expect from a lens this wide on 4 x 5. The coverage was iffy for extreme movements on 4 x 5, but that's again what to expect from a lens this short of this design and this small. I prefer German lenses since that's my personal heritage. Specifications 52 mm filter thread. Six elements, four groups. 73 degrees. 200 mm image circle. 7 oz or 200g. Copal #0 shutter: T, B, 1 - 1/500. Stops down with seven blades to f/64. Linear scale, no click stops, marked at third stops. Recommendations I'd go for a Schneider instead, even an ancient old Symmar convertible like my 150mm here. |
