135 lens coverage

[ronald moravec]

Can any tell me factory specs for inage circle 135 5.6 Nikor W, 135 5.6 Sironar N. I`m looking for A 135 for 4x5 with max coverage.

I also need the filter size for the Nikor.

The modern 135 with the largest image circle is the Apo-Sironar-S, which is specified to cover 75 degrees, or an image circle of 208mm at f/22 and infinity focus. Filter size is 49mm.

For comparison, the 135 Apo-Sironar-N covers 72 degrees, or 200mm at f/22 and infinity. Filter size is 40.5mm.

OK, serves me right for posting first, checking the data later. The largest image circle is actually provided by the 135 Fujinon CM-W, which is rated for 76 degrees coverage, or 214 mm at f/22. Filter size is 67mm.

In 135mm's, the Fujinon W covers 228mm, and the Wide Field Ektar covers 229mm.

The Fuji 135 W/EBC's coverage is outstanding. I regretted selling mine and bought a Fuji 150mm W/EBC as a replacement some years later. Both take 52mm filters.

Factory specs - f 5.6, 60 degrees image circle 156 mm, f 22 73 degrees 200 mm.

52 mm filter.

Great lens, I've had mine for 20 plus years.

I'm not sure if coverage or focal length is more important to your applications,
so I'll suggest that you consider lenses in the 120 to 135 mm range which offer
much more coverage than the 135's. For instance, a 120 Nikon SW would allow
movements of 3.8"/3.5" vs. 1.4"/1.2" for the 135 Nikon W. Here's a shopping
list:
