Hello folks, Anyone know from personal experience if a 480 mm Ronar would cover 8x20 inches s topped way down? Shooting at f90 (or smaller) won?t be a problem, I already do t his with 8x10 and contact print in Pd/Pt. Any diffraction issues are a non-probl em to my eye. The exact lens in question is a barrel Rodenstock-chemco-Apo-Ronar 1:9 f=480/19in. serial# 5 982 151. I was told this lens came from a scrapped ne wspaper copy camera. I don?t know what the ?chemco? indicates, I?m assuming the lens is the same design as a ?normal? APO Ronar. Is this correct?
I?m hoping to use this lens with an as yet unfinished homebuilt 8x20 camera. I?l l answer my own coverage question eventually, however was wondering?.
