Thanks for all the testing. Very insightful! How well do you think this lens would perform in a studio / tabletop environment. No macro work, but more of a normal focal length. Looking for a 90mm at the moment and I've been eyeing a Rosenstock 90 digital (magenta ring).

If you don't go too close the lens will do a good job, Rodenstock 5,6/90 mm magenta ring is also a wide angle lens design, very similar to this super angulon.
both lenses have very good sharpness, but this Super Angulon
is better at large movements at the corners as it is a genuine 4x5 lens, perfect calibrated for the large image circle.
If your main focus is for studios work so maybe Apo Digitar 4/80 mm or 4,5/90 mm will be the perfect choice.

Thanks for the information! I'll look into the other options.

The. error of the red wave length light is always greater in wide angle designs. And the error increases the closer you get to the subject. So as someone suggested the Schneider 90mm or 100mm 4.5 or the 80mm F4 digital will be better. The 100mm Apo-Sironar-S or the newer 105mm Macro, from Rodenstock would also be great choices.

absolutly, for product and close best deal are Apo digitars 80mm, 90 mm or when bigger movements are
required
100 mm or Rodenstock Apo Sironar Digital 5,6/105 mm that based on Apo Sironar-S but is not the same.
