Does anyone know anything about this lens? Is it a Rodenstock manufactured lens? What does HR stand for? Thanks, offset |

Yes, I knew that it was a Calumet lens - and I have seen different series numbers - like Caltar S11 - and Caltar 11N - and now the Caltar HR. Somewhere I saw where the S11 was manuf. by Schneider and the 11N by Rodenstock - but I don't know about the HR. I appreciate your input! offset |

Today I received the May/June issue of VIEW CAMERA magazine and there was the answer to my question about my 150 mm f 5.6 Calter HR lens! It seems that it was made in 1984 by Topcon, has Elements/Groups of 6/4, has a 70 degree angle of coverage, a 210 mm image circle, and a 58 mm filter size! It really is a gem! Thanks for your interest! Offset <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Offset on 2003-05-13 19:44 ]</font> |
