[norm the storm]

Hi everybody

I have an old Zeiss Planar 135mm f3.5 (58 mm filter size).
Is anybody knows what is the image circle of this lens.

Thank you

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it just covers 4x5. It it Linhof approved?

170mm, according to Zeiss (http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/zeiss_6.html).

MyXenotar f:3.5/135mm is quite similar. It nicely covers 4x5 with a comfortable circle for moderate movements -- more than a Tessar, less than a Symmar.

I know this is an old, old thread but those looking at Zeiss Planar 135mm f/3.5 for Linhof 4x5 should know that very many appear to be in a Linhof badged board are wrong, wrong, wrong.

They might be in the wrong shutter, or mounted on some kind of generic board that does not allow access to the controls, or do not fold into the Super Technia. Beware. A number of them even have phony badges. There is no extent that uninformed or crooked sellers will use to sell a piece of sh*t.
