Hi, Shel. I've visited the site just after you mentioned it some time ago. I really like the portraits he does. Do you know exactly which one he uses (planar, xenotar, xenar, tessar)? In fact, since I asked, I made some surfing and learned some about 'flexes. Regards and thanks
AG PS: The guy asks 100 usd for it. HA! The Xenotar is, indeed, a good lens. It's the Schneider version of the Planar. There are arguments amongst the Rolleiflex aficionados as to which is better. Some say the Planar is a bit sharper, some say the Planar is more prone to light fall off (in the 2.8 versions), but the bottom line is that both lenses are top of the line for Rolleiflex, and the f3.5 is quite nice. The 3.5 is, iirc, a 75mm lens rather than an 80mm lens, which lends a somewhat different perspective to the photographs. Go here: http://www.edkrebs.com/ and explore the photos and the links. It'll be well worth your time. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
