Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone has specific technical advice on this lens (or can point me to it), and how it fares in comparison to new lenses. I dated this one to the late 60's, roughly the same age as my Technika V. My initial tests look good, but I was wondering how people thought it performed comparatively in terms of:
* overall sharpness, from wide open to stopped down
* color rendition
* contrast
* coverage (matters the least to me)
I will be shooting landscapes and portraits, mostly color neg, some b+w, and will enlarge to 20x24", perhaps bigger. I guess I am interested to know if anyone felt that in the end it wouldn't hold up sufficiently compared to a modern Schneider or Rodenstock.
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!
