Lomo П-5 (P-5) F=180 1:2 (180mm / f2.0) Question

[Misko]

Hi,

I am wondering if any of you have tested LOMO П-5 (P-5) F=180 1:2 lens so far & if it does cover 4x5 format?

Is it a petzval formula as I've heard & is it coated (single / multi)?

If you know any discussions, reviews... that show more about it - please share guys!

Best,
Milos

according to the net for 35mm film projection, so I'd say no...

Here could be more information around the lens:

Thanks Richie!
Will check the PDF now.

Emil - i am using lot's of 35mm projection lenses & shoot 4x5 & 5x7 with them all the time. Its just a question what's the formula of P-5 (AFAIK P-4 is confirmed to be Petzval design) and based on that I will know a bit more.

Anyhow - if anyone has a P-4 180mm lens for sale - please let me know.

Thanks
