sandy_sorlien Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 Greetings, I'm after a second lens for my Arca Swiss 6x9FC, to complement my 65/5.6 Super Angulon. I shoot mostly architecture exteriors so I sometimes use maximum movements and need good coverage. I am intrigued by descriptions on this site of the 80/4.5 Super Symmar which apparently has great coverage and small size. 110 degrees seems like plenty for the 6x9 format. Has anyone used this lens with this format? How's the edge-to-edge sharpness and coverage? Also, am I correct in figuring it would be equivalent to a 35mm lens on 35mm format? Bonus question: Am I correct in thinking an f/8 lens will be too dark to use the binocular viewer?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peza Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 It has 110dg coverage, but with image circle cca 20cm, diagonal of 6x9 format is cca 11cm, so you will get much less angular coverage than you think - but a lot of space for movements. Yes, it is like 35mm lens for small format.<br> MTF is <a href="http://www.schneideroptics.com/photography/large_format_lenses/super-symmar_xl">here</a>.<br><br> Looks like people prefer super angulons, but - I can't see much difference in MTF charts.
