dan_fromm2 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I can't answer your question, can respond to the discussion's subject. The best response is a question. Why would you want to use a lens with that much coverage on 6x8 or even 6x9 (actually approximately 58 mm x 82 mm)? There are smaller lighter less expensive lenses around that focal length with coverage more than adequate for 6x9. I own a few, including two 58s. 58/5.6 Grandagon/Technikon in #00, 58/5.6 Konica Hexanon in #0. 60/5.6 Konica Hexanon in #0. All have to be reshuttered because their native shutters are, um, special versions that make sense only on the cameras the lenses were made for. If you can live with 65 mm, there are fine f/8 and f/5.6 65s from the major manufacturers. Shorter than 58 mm, longer than 47 mm is a bit more difficult.
