Recommend ULF lens with some 800mm image circle

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

Needed for some about 1:1 repro work. Thought about using Apo Germinar W lens(es).
Space is rather limited, so wide angle lenses preferred.

Any other recommendations?

I have a 480mm Schneider that will do the job

210/11 and 270/11 G-Claron-WA both cover 800 mm at 1:1. Brochure here: http://web.archive.org/web/201009220...hiv/archiv.htm

So will the 260/10 Process Nikkor, also sold as 260/10 Nikkor-Q.

Good luck finding any of them quickly.

Otherwise, in the process lens line 480/9 Apo-Nikkor and 480/9 Apo-Ronar are your best bets.

There's been a G Claron 270mm f/11 on the auction site for the past six months just sitting there waiting for a buyer..

Thanks Dan, I knew you would know something useful! ;-)

A project for year 2017, so I have time....

I need shorter working distance, so I prefer WA lenses.
