I have been through the google searches for several days and don't find an answer to this:

Is there data on the various Apo Nikkor lenses on the web or elsewhere? I have several of them in barrel, got a 455 mounted in a shutter and am very happy with it, but before I make Grimes's rich by having some more mounted, I want to see about image circles and the like.

I have read a thread from one member who said that mounting these lenses in a shutter hurts the sharpness. I must say my 455 is
as sharp as any I own, old or new, so if they indeed are sharper in barrel, it would be an education to see how that happens.

The lenses I have are NOT the "process" lenses, at least they are not labeled as such, just Apo Nikkor f9, and the various focal lengths.

thanks a ton
