Howdy guys, Thanks for your help in the past. I am looking for smaller lightweight lenses for my Tachihara. I am returning a R otelar 270mm because it was too big, too heavy.
I am thinking of a Geronar 210mm f/6.8. It appears to be light weight and compac t. I'd rather have a Xenar I think, but none are available.
I also need a close up lens in the 135 or 210 mm range. I have a 90mm Angulon an d a 150mm Caltar S II. I am wondering how a slightly longer Angulon would work a t 1:1. I think they made a 105 or 120? I doubt the Geronar would be very good at 1:1 and I don't know if the Caltar is good. My goal is to have a lens that I ca n carry in the field for landscapes but also use for a flower sized close-up. My 6CM SLR is just too heavy!
It amazes me that these used LF lenses sell for much more now than new in my 70s and 80s catalogs!
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
