you're welcome!thank you very much !
in what respect?Now it would be stunning to have somone compare the Schneider 43 and the Rodenstock 40.
I think both are sweat lenses and deliver very fine, incredibly sharp images.
Other than that they are different...
pros for the Digaron-W 40:
- f4; allows less DOF and faster shutter speeds; it's also brighter on the groundglass
- less light falloff due to the retro focus design
pros for the 43XL:
- much larger image circle
- significantly smaller/lighter
- probably less distortion
(me personally I also like the snap-locks on Schneider's apture rings ... because you don't have to look at the indication to adjust a certain aperture on the lens)
