d_khong Posted November 12, 1997 Share Posted November 12, 1997 I am thinking of buying either an 80mm Apo-Rodagon lens or a 60mm Rodagon-WA lens for my 6x6 negatives. I already have an EL-Nikkor at the moment. What would be a better option? <p> TIA <p> Dan K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venu_panchagnula Posted December 30, 1997 Share Posted December 30, 1997 Hi, If your Nikon lens is a 6 element lens there is no need to purchase a new lens. For 6 X 6 80 mm is required. Venu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_canter Posted December 31, 1997 Share Posted December 31, 1997 I'm sorry but I think Venu P. has missed the point (Dan has not specified what focal length El-Nikkor he has). <p> Remember that, compared to any 80, the 60 WA will give 25% greater magnification at the same column height. If you specialise in very large prints this could be a significant advantage. Beyond that I'm not qualified to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
