[LargeFormat] Angulon Answers

[philip lambert]

It's not entirely irrelevant but for my Sinar and rollfilm back, having sold
a 90mm S Angulon f8  I started testing a 75mm f4.5 Polaroid lens and then a
90mm f3.5 Mamiya Press lens remounted in a S Compur. I bought them both.
Shortly I shall experiment with a Mamiya 6x6 f2.8 80mm just to see what it
covers at f16.   My 65mm S Angulon allows more movement than these three but
it's so dim by comparison.  A 65mm f5.6 I did own was noticeably better but
was big and heavy.  It fetched a surprisingly high price. Obviously people
like them.  Philip
