steve_williams3 Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I am looking at a 16.5cm Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar for use on 8x10. It is in an Ilex #4 Acme shutter. Can anyone tell me the image circle on this lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambrick007 Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 According to more knowledgeable sources on the web, a tessar will cover about 60 degrees - this works out to a 190mm image circle � way short for 8x10 at infinity. Is someone out there marketing their tessar as a 8x10 lens?? <p> To cover 8x10 at this focal length, you�ll need a 165m Super Angulon (ouch � expensive), or one of the more moderately priced older lenses like the 159mm Wollensak Extreme Wide Angle.

chris_patti1 Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 The 165 (non-super) Angulon will also cover with some room for movements stopped down. Some of the later ones are coated and in reasonably modern shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
