Hi,A sample shot to show
Hello Peter,
The Sinaron lenses are the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar lenses made for Sinar.
They are the exact same lenses. Some pretend that the Sinaron ones have been carefully chosen by Sinar and are of better quality (double quality check) but nothing proves it and it can be just marketing.
If other can confirm that, please do.
Thought I revive this very old thread...
I was interested to read the Linhof Studio lens product page the following data on the 55mm APO-SD
Filter Thread 67mm
Image Circle 125mm
Flange Focal Distance 67.6mm
Lensboard Techno Part no. 1143
Lensboard M679cs Part no. 1160
I was particularly interested in the flange focal distance mentioned. Pardon my ignorance, but might I assume from this number that the 55mm is indeed termed a retrofocus lens after all? Would this mean I might be able to expect better performnce using it it with shifts on the new CMOS sensor than, say, the Schneider 47mm XL?
