Dear all,
I've just bought a lens, just out of curiosity after a lot of reading in this fine forum.
The lens came in today, and I have a few questions, please pardon me if some of my questions are so basic.
1. The lens says Voigtlander Anastigmat Skopar, 13.5cm f/4.5
What I know is that the Anastigmat design was primarily created to overcome astigmatism, hence the name, An-astigmat. But may somebody please enlighten me if there is any write up or sample image with this lens, as I like to know more. For example, the designation be it for 2x3 or 4x5 camera, etc.
2. I can unscrew the lens from the board just by turning it counter clockwise. I read here that most LF lens need to be removed with a lens wrench for each shutter size, 0, 1, etc. Is this correct, or the lens is missing some parts? It says here Compur so I believe it has a Compur shutter, and I can wind/release the shutter.
3. The speeds are way off, 1/10 and upwards are very fast, but the 1 second speed is slow, sometimes it hangs too. I am not a lens expert, but I feel like the springs or the mechanism inside is very tightly adjusted. Is this case normal for these kind of lenses? Will a camera tech easily adjust and fix this?
I thank you very much for reading this far and for your kind assistance.
