[pierre506]

Couldn't find any information about the lens.
Fixed f16 aperture~
Anyone knew it?
Thanks.137655137656

I would guess it has to be some kind of copy machine lens. If it's like my copy lenses, (150mm Konica Hexanon GRII and 209mm Agfa Repromaster) it will be very sharp and have loads of coverage.

The 240mm f9 Graphic-Kowa is an amazing lens. I compared it to a Computar 240mm and concluded that the GK was a better lens. Thus, I sold the Computar, even though it was in a shutter and the GK wasn't.

Such a good lens; I can only hope that you find this as good!

Thank you, guys.
Yes. I could find f9 Kowa lens but f16~

Well, that fixed stop is probably the optimum aperture... (It's not like you have much choice, though, but it's right there for you!!!) Roll with it!!!!!

Since the stop is perfectly round, you're likely to get a good transition from sharp to soft in the photo. I have a Graphic-Kowa, of the plasmat variety. It's a wonderful lens.

Steve, I also thought it w
might be the best aperture of the lens.
I still don't know too much about the lens.
