    Re: Low 90mm budget

    Here is another vote for the 90mm f/6.8 Wollensak Raptar (also known as Graflex Optar). There was a significant time gap before I got the Raptar after using the 90mm Schneider Angulon so I've not compared them directly but according to my memory, the Angulon was conciderably worse than the Raptar. Still, the Raptar is also cheaper - because (1) the 90mm version was mass-produced for 4x5" rangefinders (and by the way, the other focal length versions of the lens are way more costly), and (2) it is almost unknown anywhere outside US.

    I have a 90mm Orbit. Folk lore on the old internet days say it's a Schneider lens. I don't know, looks just like it to me.

    I like my 90 f8 SA but it vignettes. Still a nice lens. Some corner editing on this image.

    To sum up the chat, the choice is between the Schneider and the wollensak.
