G-Claron 355mm Dagor Type

[Dan Fromm]

Dan, you have one more typo: The Dagors have two strong and two weak reflections.

And Jon, that's a #3 Compound. Hang on while I check the reflections on mine.

Thanks for the correction, Ole. I've been making stupid mistakes all weekend. This is just another bad sign.

Thanks for the help Dan and Ole. My 355mm G-claron which shares the 210mm xenar cells and a compound #3 shutter. It has 4 strong reflections, i.e., 2 large and 2 smaller ones, but all strong reflections, and thus must be the plasmat. The 355mm's sn11708xxx.

Jon, thanks for waking me up. I've had further news from Schneider and have decided that I may have misunderstood the first useful response I got.

First useful response was "The first design has been bought until Serie no. 11.000.000 and after this Serie number the second design has been sold too."

I then asked "Is it possible to know whether there are any 355/9 G-Clarons with serial number less than 11.000.000?" and was told "yes some had been sold with serial number less than 11.000 000"

Cheers,

Dan

My experience with Schneider is that they are extremely good at answering the exact question you asked. So short questions must be extremely precisely formulated to get an answer to the question you thought you were asking!

Sounds like there could be a difference in how the changes were made between various focal lenghts. I have a 240 Dagor type with serial # 11,9xx

[Dan Fromm]

Yep. If you'll read the entire thread, you'll find reports of other dagor types with serial numbers > 11,000,000.
