Thanks.

You missed the Imagon 120mm, the Sima 100mm and the Seibold Dreamagon which I all have but only this 3 in 35mm and yes the Nikkor DC is also a usefull SF lens if you use it right! Cheers Armin

I was a bit unsure where the 120mm Imagon fits in terms of format, a little like the 6" Verito. Since both have bigger brothers which presumably will give the same look (for the same angle of view and enlargement) I ignored them. I have wondered about the Sima and will probably pick one up just to be complete even although it looks like a piece of plastic rubbish.

I have two 120mm Imagon, one with integrated helicoid and 39mm thread which I use on my 35mm Nikons with proper adapter and spacers. The other one is a version with lens retaining ring (no helicoid) I'm using on Mamiya/Phase One 645 AFDII and my Sinar 4x5 with Polaroid 405 back. Doesn't cover 4x5 but does OK with the standard instant film formats. I have a Sima in my bag for 35mm work. It's plastic alright ;-) ... YMMV

Classic. The printing is where a lot of Pictorialists got their look.

Rodenstock 120mm H5.8 barrel-mount Imagon, mounted on a Plaubel Peco Jr lens board, inside a Durst recessed cup.

Then onto one of my Plaubel Makiflexes.

I also have 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm Imagons (in barrel) that I intend to use with these cameras.

From "Lancaster 6" set.

A few more to add to the list:
Spiratone Portragon 100/4 (T-mount)
Kiyohara VK50R f4.5 (M42)
Kiyohara VK70R f5.0 (M42, Nikon, EOS)
Kiyohara VK105R f4 (P67, maybe other MF too?)
Kenko MC Soft 85/2.5 (T-mount)

The Kiyoharas are apparently clones of the Kodak Vest Pocket meniscus lens.
