I did what Mr Horvath said me to do and develop the test film yesterday, and was really sad with the result, cause it has a "focus vignetting" effect (focus on the center and unfocus on the boarders). I went to an old camera store in Lisbon and showed to the owner my ikonta and he says that probably the rear element of the lens is not part of it. Was placed after... And he wants to sell me a ikonta with a Tessar 3.5, that he says its better. What should I do? Give up on the Novar and buy the Tessar, or should I try anything else? Thanks

I'm using a tripod now, and really not shaking anything :(

Hello. I just develop my first film from my new ikonta 6x9 with a novar anastigmat 1:4.5 f:10,5 bought on Ebay. And

the 8 photos were all out of focus, cause I tried to play with the Hyperfocal and the F stop. For example: I made a

exposure in 1/50 F/22, and wanted to have everything in focus from 4 meters to infinity, but all came out blured. Can

anyone help me find out the DOF scale of this lens. Or help me with your one experience in focusing with this lens.

I'm feeling like in one of The Beatles songs: "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down"!:(
