How similar are these lenses actually? I have a symmar 135mm and componon 135mm... i switched the rear cells and i see no difference on the ground glass.
So' being a cheap bastard that I am. I have bee looking for something like a cheap wide angle lens that would be needed to stop all the way for shooting, and as I have noticed that 100mm tessar gives just black corners on 4x5.. i begun to think that 6 element design does have more coverage, thus it might cover 4x5 at 100mm. And it seems symmar 100mm does indeed cover just about 4x5.
So my actual question is, would componon 100mm cover?
And is componon-s same as symmar-s? I have only older componons & symmars (cheap). I have read somewhere that the S componons would have greater coverage.
I know that on paper this all doesn't do.. 100mm symmar does not cover on paper. But in real life it seems to cover.
