john_kasaian1 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I was wondering if anybody can tell me what the differences are between the f6.8 and f7.7 Dagors---besides the f stop scale? I've noticed the f7.7 lenses seem to be in the longer focal lengths and usually more costly. Why? Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_tucher Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi John, From my understanding the 7.7 versions have huge coverage. I have a 14" Gold Dot Dagor. In its 7.7 version it will cover 16x20 while mine can't quite reach 11x14. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_roody Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 For dagors 14" and up, the maximum aperture was reduced from 6.8 to 7.7. I believe the reason was to reduce the physical size of a lens only. It has nothing to do with lens quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_p_goerz Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Pete is totally correct, there is also the Process Dagors of F11 aperture size that are totally tasty! CP Goerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
