howard_slavitt1 Posted November 21, 1998 Share Posted November 21, 1998 I have seen a few ads for older 58 mm Grandagon lenses. I think they are single-coated but not multi-coated. If the image quality is good, I would like to buy one to use on my Horseman 6 x 9 technical field. <p> Has anyone used one of these? How does the image quality compare to the latest lenses? I would be shooting color slides. I assume this lens has much smaller image circle than current models, but, because I'll be using 6 x 9 format am not too concerned about that. I'd like to save money and have a smaller, lighter lens for backpacking and general shooting. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qtluong Posted June 3, 1999 Share Posted June 3, 1999 I used to have one. I just covers 4x5 with no movements.I shoot Velvia with it and the results were pretty good, quitecomparable to that obtained with modern lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
