Introduction

OK and tiny lens.

I bought mine new in 1993 and it was then stolen.

Performance

I was never that impressed with it on my 4 x 5. I always felt it had a bit of light falloff in the corners, which is what you should expect from a lens this wide on 4 x 5.

The coverage was iffy for extreme movements on 4 x 5, but that's again what to expect from a lens this short of this design and this small. I prefer German lenses since that's my personal heritage.

Recommendations

I'd go for a Schneider instead, even an ancient old Symmar convertible like my 150mm here.
