Hi there,
I have been shooting 4x5 macro work with a Nikkor 120mm 5.6 AM-ED lens for about a year, great lens. I have recently inherited a new condition Rodenstock 120mm 5.6 Apo Macro that might replace the Nikkor.
In reading about it's optimum working conditions, I see that the best apertures to use it at are rather shallow DOF settings of F8-F11. So a couple of questions, one would be is the AM Nikkor 120mm the same in terms of these wide settings being best and what on earth is the reason for this on the Rodenstock when if anything, more DOF would be a welcome thing?
Also, any opinions as to which might be best overall?
