Hi all,
I'm looking for a new lens for the 16x20" camera I built as the one I have is 20" and doesn't give full coverage when focusing on things further away than a few meters. I found a Rodenstock Apo-Ronar 600mm f9 N.F. lens online for about £300, which is basically my budget. I'm still a bit of an ameture with it all, will this be a good lens? What are the pros and cons of this? I know it's not very fast but I'll mostly be shooting still life's in the studio and have plenty of light so that won't be too much of an issue (although I do want to do some portraits, so may be an issue here I suppose, especially as I'm using paper negs, positive paper and eventually wet collodion, so very low asa). I'm a bit confused about the ratio coverage information and why/how this is different to a normal lens.

Any help, advice, better suggestions of lens and where to get them would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
Brendan
