I happens to have a brochure in the German language from the Boyer Apo Saphir that tells lots about the history, the construction, the design, the lensopening (why so low in power), the performance, the use of special apertures for colourlitho?s (printing), the use of focallength related to originalsize, all that written by its factory, or close to that. The brochure, about ten or more pages, shows beneeth useful focallenghts also lenses from about 2500 mm for astronomical us. After reading you can?t probably have still questions! I collected this information in the early 80th, because I bought the Apo Saphir in the focallenght from 135, 180, 240 and 300 mm., f 9, coming with a revolver lenscarrier from a Reinhel 18 x 24 cm. enlarger. This enlarger is still in use, but the lenses rather not.
I might take the time to copy the brochure by scanning and sending it to you by e-mail.
But I have a request myself: I am looking after information close to what I have about the Apo Saphir, but then about the Red Dort Artar from Goertz. I have a lens for reproductional purpose (also for architectural photography) from this type in the focallenght from 14 inch, 350 mm. This lens seems to be from a "masterclass" quality.
Do you perhaps have such information, or do you know someone who want to give me that for sure? Or someone else who reads this?
