I'm currently using a 75mm/5.6 Super Angulon that I'm borrowing from my school. I have recently seen a 65mm/4.5 Caltar II-N for sale, which I assume to be a rebranded Rodenstock Grandagon.
I am very much impressed with the sharpness and contrast of the 75mm. I'm shooting mostly 6x9 and 6x12 with a rollfilm back, and while I like the angle of the 75mm, I think I'd like something a bit more wide, which is why I'm looking at the 65mm. Is the Caltar/Grandagon a lens capable of the same detail, sharpness and contrast as the Super Angulon, or should I just keep looking for a used Schneider lens?
Thanks.
