Yes that means that their supply of copal 0 shutters is finally drying up.I have received an email from Linhoff Studios informing me that Rodenstock will be offering an Aperture only option for their Large format lenses. This will be a welcome option for me. For some it would not work out especially if flash is required.

I do not expect fully global shutters on high-end cameras before ~2023 at the earliest. That’s a long “corner”Sure does but no matter to me. Global shutters are around the corner and mirrorless solutions are here now so I have no need for the copal shutter. My order has been placed for the 90mm (finally) aperture only. Should be here maybe by June.

Please share some pictures. Curious how it will look without a copal. And how aperture adjustments will be made.Sure does but no matter to me.

I'm waiting for mine :thumbup: I have used the same but in normal Copal configuration so I know exactly how it renders.
That’s the legacy Schneider aperture mount, not the forthcoming Rodenstock aperture mount.I'm waiting for mine :thumbup: I have used the same but in normal Copal configuration so I know exactly how it renders.
What I am so much looking forward to is the possibility to large movements with the Max and X1D. 20+ mm should be perfectly doable!
I am seeing landscape panos, flatstitching all the way left and right as a very nice possibility. And for that application, then a 90 is perfect!
The bonus is 300 grams....omg! The downer only a mere 5 blade aperture!
True. But it uses Rodenstock Helical, so something Rodie in the mix :toocool:That’s the legacy Schneider aperture mount, not the forthcoming Rodenstock aperture mount.
Diffraction is not a hard-wall limit; it's just something to keep in mind. At the extreme end, for example, it's a great reason why you should avoid f/32 in almost any situation with almost any modern digital camera.Rodenstock recommends as a working aperture for their Digaron lenses f/5.6 (for some Digaron also f/8) in order to limit diffraction and to obtain maximum resolution. This is often only one stop from maximum aperture.
I wonder if one could get by using a fixed aperture (at best working aperture) if there is another way to get the required depth of field. A variable aperture has lost a lot of its usefulness.
Even at 150mp our raw file testing indicates f/13 or f/14 (along with the diffraction correction tool in Capture One and proper sharpening) will often be a reasonable choice even for those making large prints in scenes were homogeneity of focus is more important than an A++ of pixel detail and focus stacking is not an appropriate tool.
Sorry to rain on your parade but it won't manage double horizontal stitches. The image circle is just not big enough for that. It can just about do a double vertical stitch, with a bit of vignetting in the corners that will not correct out., and needs cropping. And don't count on great resolution right out at the edge. The only way to get full coverage and great resolution is with the 90 HRSW, but that's a different beast.I'm waiting for mine :thumbup: I have used the same but in normal Copal configuration so I know exactly how it renders.
