    Re: Schneider & Rodenstock standard lens recommendations for 6x9

    Don, I have a 1982 Nikon catalog that lists a 100/5.6 W and a 105/3.5 M. The 100 is a plasmat type, claimed coverage at f/22 is 153 mm. The 105 is a tessar type, claimed coverage at f/22 is 110 mm, and the catalog asserts that all Nikkor-Ms (105/3.5, 300/9, 450/9) are apochromats.

    You may have confused two quite different lenses.

    I downloaded 1982 and 2002-4 Nikon LF lenses catalogs from http://savazzi.freehostia.com/photog...literature.htm . The 105/3.5 M isn't in the 2002-4 catalog, the 200/8 M that's in it isn't in the 1982 catalog.

    Dan... you forgot to list the venerable 200mm Nikkor-M. BTW, I always wanted to try the 105mm f/3.5 wide open for portraits but I never found one for sale.

    Not Schneider or Rodenstock, but the lenses I use for a 6x9 back on my Ebony include
    125 Fuji W, 180A, 240A, 300 Nikkor M. All give superlative results with obviously plenty of
    movement.

    The 105 M seems to be rather rare. I've only seen two of them for sale ever.

    Nikon made a 100 W, a 105 W and a 105 M. The 105 W was the later lens. The 105 M seems to have been dropped from later catalogs.
