Whilst touring the latest digital lens lineups I came across three "digital" lenses that all allegedly have 125 or 150mm circles at f/22. These are:
Rodenstock 90mm f/5.6 Digital APO Sironar (125mm circle)
Rodenstock 135mm f/5.6 Digital APO Sironar (150mm circle)
Rodenstock 150mm f/5.6 Digital APO Sironar (150mm circle)
Rodenstock 180mm f/5.6 Digital APO Sironar (150mm circle)
My question is, does anybody here use any of these for 6x7 or 6x9 work? I sitll (happily) use roll film and don't plan to migrate for a while, but I have been looking out for lenses in this range for my roll film stuff, especially apos because I do a fair amount of IR and the movements I use with 6x7 and 6x9 are usually very conservative.
These Rodenstocks are tempting, particularly if one considers eventually migrating to a digital back. The prices are quite reasonable (~$1000 or less, unlike some of the digitars which also have much smaller circles).
Thoughts anyone? I am sure some of you have thought of this route but I didn't find any examples in a cursory search of the forum.
