Hello
I am wondering if anyone reading has had any experience with these lenses, speci fically a 90mm F6.8 Angulon (not super) and a later 90mm F8 90mm Super Angulon ( serial number 8896959).
I am currently using the angulon (not super) for use with my 6 x 17 format camer a (home made). As one could imagine there is quite a bit of light fall of toward s the edges of the frame, and also i exclusively use the lens at F32 (minimum) t o maximise sharpness at the edge of field. These two limitations I was prepared for when I purchased the lens, however my current budget will allow me to purcha se a more suitable lens.
My question is would the super angulon i mention above improve on these limitati ons? Does a Super angulon have less light drop off than an angulon and would it be useable at larger apetures on 6x17 than my angulon?. Would it be an appreciab le amount better? I know all opinions are individual but that's all I'm after
Or should i look for another lens, or perhaps save for a modern SA90 5.6 XL??
My thanks and appreciation for your reply.
