The Xenar has a pleasing look and I am stoked to have it. I have not used it much at all.

159mm F2 B&L Super Cinephor Test by Nokton48, on Flickr
Plaubel Makiflex Standard, Bausch & Lomb 159mm F2 Theatrical Cinema Projection Lens, Ilford Commercial Ortho 4x5, Graphmatic 4x5 sheet back. Mic-X developer. 8x10 Arista #2 RC paper, Multigrade dev Omega Dii 180mm black Rodenstock Rodagon, Omegalite circuline head
I focused on the front of the petal in the bottom center; depth of field is as thin as a sheet of paper. Interestingly I can see the whole circle easily with my 8x10 Sinar Norma when focused at infinity..
B&L 159.1mm F2 Super Cinephor 1 by Nokton48, on Flickr
Removed from a movie theatre projector (in it's former life) the Bausch & Lomb 159.2mm F2.0 Super Cinephor. Carrying this around will give you a cardio workout. Will focus out to twenty feet (but not further) due to the SLR mirror in the Makiflex Standard.
The rear cell of this beast completely fills the Makiflex Standard Mirror Box when full in. Anything out to twenty feet or so is fine. This is a tricky one to focus.
I shot this digiphoto on my new Sinar Norma Copy Stand, which works great with the Makis as well. The Makis are well proven for photocopy work, the Maki shutter has the patented Plaubel mirror braking system. As smooth no vibs at all as smooth as smooth can be. Big advantage is a lot of instances. Background is a digital file printed at Costco, it's one that Tim Layton digitally shot and included in his large format flower course. I have about a dozen or so backgrounds and they work great on the stand, basically an overhead shooting stage. Lighting from a single Broncolor C171 Pulso Monolight with a Broncolor Beauty Light Head. Silver fill panel on the other side.
