My only experience with using a Repro-Claron was in the 1980s, when I used a 210mm Repro-Claron to shoot 4x5 chromes. Never ran out of coverage with that lens but never remember making any more than minimal movements. In most cases I was shooting art work and historical documents straight on. Still have those 4x5 Chromes and a few that I also shot with a 210mm Symmar (not a S, Super HM, or an APO), and the 4x5s shot with the Repro-Claron are noticeably superior. Side note: the Repro-Claron was in mint condition, and the Symmar was a very, very used optic... not sure if that was a factor.
FORUM members' experiences with using Repro-Clarons?
thanks
