alpshiker Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Does someone know about this late production model, similar in aspect to the5,5/250mm Multicoated (black Copal1) ? I wrote to Schneider in Germany and I wasgiven the caracteristics of the old 270 Tele-Arton, with 152mm F/f and 178mmimage circle. It would be nice if so, but the late 250mm requiring 200mm F/f, Iwould think that these numbers are not for the late one. Anyone owns one or hasa leaflet ?

michael_briggs2 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Here's what Schneider says at http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/tele-arton/: "The Tele-Arton is a telephoto design. Their short flange focal length allows the use of long lenses on cameras with short bellows extension, such as the "technical cameras". Earlier f/4 and f/5.5 models are 5 elements in 4 groups. The 250 mm f/5.6 is a modern multicoated 5-element, 5-group lens. All models have a 35 deg. angle of coverage." So it seems that there are only single coated f5.5 Tele-Artons. They have a link giving the same specs that you mention: http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/tele-arton/data/5.5-270mm.htm. If you are considering a specific lens, just look for the word "Multicoating" on the lens -- see http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/faq/photography.htm#q9.

alpshiker Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 It's funny that they have tech sheets for the old stuff but not for the ones recently dropped. There is just a mention but no spec sheet for the 5,5 250mm Tele-Arton S for instance as far as I could find, and this 270mm is supposedly of the same vein. Thanks Michael.

abrepsom1 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hello, I am aware that this thread has been started several months ago and it seems like there is no further information on this matter. However, as I would like to purchase the Tele-Arton 5.5/270mm MC mentioned here, I was hoping to get some new information by someone who actually uses this lens. I would like to use it on a 6x9 Ebony. Is the focal flange distance really 152mm? How is the optical quality compared to commun Sironar-Ns or similar lenses? Any other information would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much. Aender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
