90mm nikkor or angulons

When I was confronted with the same choice, the 90/4.5 SW Nikkor was reputed to
be the pick of the litter. A number of knowledgable people recommended it, and it
certainly seems a tad sharper than the SA to me, and is obviously a bit brighter.
It goes well with the 3b 82mm Schneider center filter.

The 3b has a 67mm thread. I believe you may be referring to the 3D.

Sorry Don. The correct 82mm center filter is a Schneider IV, with virtually perfect
illumination of field on the SW 4.5. I also own a IIIb for a different lens, so got them confused.
