Are you saying that your brochure tells you that the 45mm APO Grandagon specifically gives 50mm of rise and 50mm of shift for 6x9?
Did they change the formulation of this lens?
In my Rodenstock brochure of 1998, it says 24mm rise and 19mm shift based on an image circle of 131mm for the 6x9 format.
Ok, let me clarify this with Rodenstock Germany.
This is highly interesting.
I can check the latest brochure when I return to the office tomorrow.
Another reason for going with the Schneider 47mm F/5.6XL Super Angulon over the older version is that it produces a "sharper" ( more contrast & resolution) image. That lens and the Apo grandagons are worth looking into. You'll be surpri sed what you find in the used marketplace. I tried a 47mm XL for a month and returned it because it was too wide for my tastes.
The latest brochures, both dated 8/98, for the Garandagon N and Apo Grandagon have corrected the figures in the older brochure that I have at home. On 69 with the 35mm the range of movements is 20 and 15mm at f8 45mm the range of movements is 24 and 19mm at f11 55mm the range of movements is 40 and 31mm at f11
Sorry for quoting the older brochure.
