    Rodenstock Rotelar 270mm

    I would like some information on the Rodenstock Rotelar 270mm, f/5.6. Anyone on the forum use this lens? Is there that much difference between a 210mm and a 270 mm? Thanks.

    Rodenstock Rotelar 270mm

    It is an old tele with a 156mm circle at f22. 150mm wide open so it offers very minimum movements on 45.

    The 180mm Rotelar covered 130mm at f22 and 120 wide open so it does not cover 45

    More or less the same as the Tele-Xenar f/5.5 270mm. Total lenght ca 100mm weight with shutter size #1 ca. 580 gram (metric).

    I have used two 270 rotelars and was resoundingly unimpressed. As mentioned the image circle is quite cramped with soft corners that don't improve very much with stopped down. For this size and weight you could find more capable lenses, although the do make for a nice cheap long lens on 6 x 9cm
