The Caltar/Geronar is a fine modern triplet with multicoating. They are compact and, as was mentioned, sell for very low amounts relative to their quality. Two of them would make a nifty TLR.

All I read in this thread is what is problematic, and nothing about what will work.
IOW, a lot of technical posturing.

Oh, the answer was defined. Lenses of the same focal length both in register.Originally Posted by Jac@stafford.net
What wasn't laid out were an easy idiot-proof way to measure focal length and obtain a pair of lenses of the same focal length and an easy idiot-proof way to put two lenses on a TLR's lens board in register.
Let the OP complain for himself.
Your attitude is registered, and thank you for the solution to "pair lenses of the same focal length and an easy idiot-proof way to put two lenses on a TLR's lens board in register". Not!
That's my complaint. Deal with it.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Your information was very helpful. I said in the beginning that it may have been an obvious question, but it turns out that is wasn't quite as obvious as I thought. I really didn't need anything idiot-proof. I just don't have that much knowledge of how various brands of the same focal length differ in large format lenses. You all cleared that up. Thanks again! This forum is a wealth of information and experience.
