Fujinon 250 f 6.7 vs. Fujinon 240A

[william_marderness1]

I now have the Fujinon 240mm A, and I run out of coverage when I use 8x10 with significant rise for architecture. Will the Fujinon 250mm f6.7 help me much with the coverage problem? Also what filter size does it take?

Bill,you will find the answers to your questions at The f Stop

website ( thefstop.com ). Look under Fuginon lenses. There is a chart

for the entire line. hope this helps.

Please note that my question concerns the older f6.7 lens, not the

current f6.3 lens.

The Fuji 250 f6.7 (which I have) was listed as having a 398mm image

circle, more, obviously, stopped down. This allows quite a lot of

movement.

I have an older 250mm 6.7 Fujinon. It is single coated and well

used. It is in a Seiko shutter. I also have a 240mm f9 which is

nearly new. I have observed that when looking through the corners of

the ground glass (8X10 Camera) at the back of the lens, I am able to

move the lensboard up and down much further without mechanical

vignetting. I have over shot the rise capability of the lens once or

twice and had clear corners on the resultant negatives. The filter

size for this lens is 67 mm. The 6.7 lens according to an old

Calumet catalog covers 80 degrees or 398mm. Thats about the same as

the 250 Wide Field Ektar. The 250mm f6.3 has an angle of coverage of

64 degrees which equals 312 mm, less than the 240 A.

The 250 mm f6.7 Fujinon lens was, unfortunately, discontinued several

years ago. I managed to find one used. It is very sharp and

produces excellent negatives. I have recently seen others advertised.

The 240 mm f9 is designed for close up work and is excellent at it!

The 250 is designed for normal shooting distances and would be great

for architectural work.

The only other lens I know of that would have better coverage than

the 240 A is the Rodenstock 240 mm Apo-Sironar-S. It is a 75 degree

lens that covers 372mm.
