Tele-Xenar's and Angulon's
For a 6x9 system I acquired a 180/5.5 Tele-Xenar and a 65/6.8 Angulon.
The Tele-Xenar is Linhof branded. If we assume I am lucky to have some good samples what are the max. performance these lenses can deliver? When I do some google search most go for the Tele-Arton, Apo-Symmar's, Super-Angulon's etc. What apertures are best to use to get best corner sharpness? 22? Any sources where I can see to test images where these lenses has been used? Another issue: Is it true that you can take an old Componon S enlarger lens (e.g. a 100/5.6) and unscrew the front and rear element group and then mount it in a Compur shutter (should just fit I heard), and then use this lens as a taking lens which also performs well also at infinity?

Littleboy Tokyo, Japan The 65mm Angulon really "picks up" at aperture 22. It is probably designed for this apperture. I will remember this. 65/6.8 Angulon: 19 24 48 f/6.8 34 42 48 f/11 34 54 60 f/16 60 60 42 f/22 Also the test of the 90mm Angulon against the 110mm Symmar is interesting. The 90mm is better than I expected. I have one.....so this is good. The 180mm Tele-Xenar is probably not to bad either. Max |
