New 90mm Rodenstock Alpa HR 'Alpagon' ?

Thank you for your hint .:thumbup:
I was not aware of that thread . Interesting .
I assume , that other HR-DIGARON lenses will be redesigned as well .

Rodenstock used to mention that they had produced new lenses that accommodated the optical properties of the digital sensor glass and also with better than 80 lp/mm in HR-W. However, the 70 HR-W and 90 HR-W were renamed versions of the existing APO-Sironars since at the time they thought that they were good enough as-is. Presumably since they updated the 90mm with the 90 HR-SW, they'll also update the 70/5.6 HR-W now too??

All I know is that they all cost an arm and a leg ...

Personally I would like a new 50 to fill in the gap between my 32 and 90

I dream of a 19mm HR-W Alpagon.....{sigh}. The 23HR-S is my fave lens but sometimes even it just isn't wide enough.

Not listening...

My pack is too heavy already and this talk of best ever is hazardous to my wallet.
