Apo Ronar Compact CL

[hiend61]

Any of you can tell me the differences between compact CL Apo Ronar and the standard version ( 1000 and 1200 mm) apart from the obvious differences in size and weight?

All of the CL versions have a linearized aperture scale.

I would use the lens for landscape, most times with architecture involved.
