Hi all,
crazy question, I know,
I have a very old self cocking shutter with an 7.7 anastigmat lens from a
kodak folder. Works fine on 4*5 inch, nice sharp images with enough subtle
gradations,
I tend to often use the backs of this kind of lenses, (works great on my
schneider isconar), but assumed this very small lens would never be capable
of covering 8*10 inch with one lens element,
Now I used the back-part, and I was in for a surprise. Not only did the angle of
view seem very large, the center was reasonable sharp, and when stopping down
quite a bit, a rather sharp image occured corner to corner,
Did anybody try something similar to this? The front part of the lens is all
fuzz and unsharp.
regards
stefan
