lenses to cover 617.

[fotografueland]

A f/6.8 Angulon will cover 6x12cm but not 6x17cm. I don't know what shutter-mounted 90mm lens you'll find that will cover 6x17cm and costs less than $179US.

Should be very possible the Super-Angulon 90/8's image circle is 216 mm and 6x17 needs a diagonal of 179 mm

thanks, about SA90/8 i know, but it's not cheap...

Trond... Yes, I understand that but Stanislav needs to find something very cheap. Where will he ever find a usable shutter-mounted 90mm f/8 SA for $100US?

LOOK HERE NOW $150US

This is probably as good as any single-coated f/8 SA and maybe better.

ok, exact price...

i search for any CHEAP* lens which cover 6x17
This is NOT an ad, this is only an effort to find some tips what to look for.
I prefer the lens in shutter, but the "barell" or "enlarger lens" is enough for me

* CHEAP = less than 75USD (with shipping incl.)

I've used the 75mm f4.5 Nikkor-SW a fair bit with 6x17 and it is fine until you need significant movements. I paid about $300 for mine a few years ago. The 72 XL would of course be a bit better in that respect if you can afford it
Cheap and wide ain't gonna happen though unless you go to 6x12 and get e.g. a 65mm Angulon or Wide Angle Raptar, but the advantage over the 90mm in 6x17 is minimal, coverage wise.

RE 6x12cm lens: Even a f/6.8 Angulon or WA Raptar will cost more than $75US unless it's in barrel (or in broken shutter) and cosmetically challenged.
