Has anyone had a chance to try the new Wisner lenses being offered with the Flig ht camera. I e-mailed Wisner and was sent the information that was on the websi te, which is this:
Along with the camera are our new, exclusive light weight lenses specifically conceived for this outfit. the Hi-Res Quadruple 210 (shown above on the camera) and the Wide Field Gauss 120. The gauss type was chosen because this lens type is very sharp and has a very flat field over about 85 degrees. The color correction is especially good in these types. This is the same design which was used in the very successful Kodak Wide Field Ektar. The 210 is ideal for this focal length on 4x5, with low spherical aberration and excellent contrast due to its having has only six air-to-glass surfaces. Both lenses are multi coated for excellent contrast results.
The 120 sells for $495 and the 210 for $550. Does anyone know who actually make s these lenses. I am considering purchase of a lens in the 120mm range, and I'm wondering if I should consider this. I'm wondering about covereage too. Any k nowledge you can pass on would be appreciated.
