    I like the 120 Nikkor-AM ED. There is one for sale at Midwest Photo Exchange for $699. Call Jim at 614-261-1264. Website Mpex.com He is very helpful.

    For dupes it's important to have a flat field lens. Bob will probably tell us th at there is not such thing as a flat field lens and I won't question his knowledge, but the Apo-Rodagon and any good repro or enlargement lens optimized for 1:1 is probably better than a lens not optimized for flat objects reproduction.

    The Apo Rodagon D series is a lens corrected for duplicating flat originals (film) to film or CCD

    how much extension needs such a 240mm lense to make 1:1. will be too much for a technikardan.....isnt it? it makes around 400mm max.

    If the newer Symmars are as symmetrical as the old Symmar (no letters), they should be quite decent.

    I think I would try a Zeiss Planar 135mm first, but that's just because I happen to have one

    A Sinar/Rodenstok Macro-Sinaron SE 5.6/180 would be ideal.
