I can see Randolph Scott peering out from the rocks at Alabama Hills.........

I saw him, but he told me to get the heck out of the Hills!

candelabra, fergusons

An unusual use of an Artar. We don't grab them for their oof capabilities, but they behave very nicely.

are not G-Clarons supposedly very similar?

Similar in original purpose, but the G-Claron is 6 glass 4 group plasmat and sees a much wider field. The Artar is 4 glass 4 group dialyt and sees about 50 degrees to the G-Claron's 80 degrees. Both are wonderfully sharp. And both have lovely out of focus area when forced like this one was.

I remember back in the last century, Fred Picker, in the Zone VI Newsletters did a heads up comparison of a newer model Schneider 305mm G-Claron to his Red Dot Artar of similar FL. As I remember it he found the G-Claron was sharper, had better coatings, had a modern Copal shutter, and cost less brand new than the much celebrated Artar did used.

I believe that was also when Fred was selling G-Clarons through his catalogue..........

Even though both are process lenses the G-Claron was a wide angle design.
