Hello list,
I am searching for a lens in the 210 to 270 range to use with a 7x17
camera primarily for landscape work. I am working in platinum.
I have checked the archives, and noted that the 210mm Zeiss Protar,
210mm Computar and 240mm Zeiss Dagor have all been mentioned favorably.
It was intresting for me to note that the 210 Angulon was not mentioned
in the various archived discussions on lenses.
I have no knowledge of these 'classic' lenses, and was wondering if
anyone can point me to a source of information on these lenses.
Also, does anyone have other recommendations on lenses to consider? My
criteria for this lens is that it come in (or can be fitted into) a
'modern' shuttter (copal), and that it be at least single coated. I was
initally thinking about the Angulon, but the lack of praise for this
lens makes me wonder... I have heard the Angulons were inconsistant
performers, maybe this is the reason it is not considered for the 7x17
more?
As always, this group is very knowledgeable, thoughful, and generous
with advice and opinions. Thanks in advance.
