210mm lens

[alexphoto]

The 210 Geronar is a fine lens. Not as sharp as a modern Symmar. It is a Cooke triplet design, multi coated so contrasty and quite small. It will cover 5x7 so plenty of movements on 5x4, it depends what you want to use it for.

LOL, you got 16 different possibilities from 10 different people. I have to ask, how did that help. Unless you decided to just cobble the first lens that comes along onto the camera and make pictures, then it did.

The rodenstock geronar f6.8 210mm is a fine lens and damn sharp in a good shutter and priced very reasonable and multicoated at that. I can post a link to an image made with the lens if you desire this is a good option at a good price.

To avoid? I don't have as many 210s as, say, Ole Tjugen, but I have too damned many. The worst of my lot -- may be a victim of so-so quality control -- is a 210/4.5 KOMZ Industar-51. But it does pass light and form an image.

Good luck, have fun,
