Two New Lenses.
I have just bought these two, a Tele-Congo F6.3 240mm, No1 Copal Press Shutter and a Sinaron S 150mm F5.6. Anybody got or are using these two, any tips or known pro's and cons about using them.
The Sinaron came with a Linhoff lens board, but it would not fit my Intrepid Mk4, So having a 3d printer I just made and printed one. If anybody needs a Linhoff board let me know. Flack |

It's odd that the Linhof board doesn't fit. Is it an original Linhof or a copy/fit? Normally the original boards have "West Germany" stamped top-right on the reverse side. The newer one's being black and older being tan and usually carry the Linhof badge on the front.

Both are excellent lenses. Japanese Congos are a little bit unknown to this side of the planet, but they perform well. And, not to forget, it's a real Tele construction! Which will give a shorter bellows compared to "normal" 240mm. Once I robbed such a 240er Tele from a 4x Portrait Camera as described in the other thread. The Sinaron: A "modern" Rodenstock lens where is nothing to say except "Top!". Both focal length together give a nice if not nearly perfect focal-length-set to 4x5". Keeping my Congo could have been a better idea than giving away , but those days I felt in never ending love with my ancient Xenar 4,5/210mm. Last edited by Reginald S; 10th June 2022 at 12:43 PM. |
