[LargeFormat] Schneider Angulon 120mm

[Clive Warren]

Have just picked up one of these lenses after being curious about 
them for some time. This one is coated and in a Linhof Compur shutter 
- fairly late in the manufacturing run. I have read many comments 
about these lenses, some people saying that they are soft, some 
saying that they exhibit focus shift (which may be true as they are a 
reversed dagor in design). Theoretically they should be sharp little 
lenses - little being the operative word - great choice for a field 
outfit if it performs.

Coverage is excellent with an image circle that covers 5x7 - could be 
used for a nifty homebrew 6x17 point and shoot :-)

I finished the shutter CLA about half an hour ago. Just before the 
workshop I finished a number of lens board conversions to allow a 
standard 4x4 square board to be used on most cameras here. Of course 
now I have run out of 4x4 boards......

Does anyone here use the 120mm and have any field experience they 
would like to pass on?

Cheers,
