earleygallery Posted January 12, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2012 I've found the Bronica lenses excellent, I have the standard lens and a 50mm for my ETR. But......I don't really see the benefit of using them on a Canon body - stop down metering and manual focus aren't a problem, but it will make for quite a bulky kit.

sfage Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for your response James. I'm not "so" concerned about bulk. I am -however- attracted to the increased edge-to-edge sharpness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted January 12, 2012 Share #5 Posted January 12, 2012 The usage on 35mm (or smaller formats) of lenses DESIGNED for larger formats can be considered.... of course coverage is granted, but the rules of lens design must be kept in mind, too : basically : - Is true that, generally speaking, an area largely contained within the center of the image circle is the "best part" of the focused image - But , historically, lenses designers DID keep in mind the enlargements to which the negative should be projected. - And typically, they considered as acceptable, for larger negs, resolution figures (in lines-per-millimeter) well below the values we are accustomed for 35mmm film. So, roughly speaking, if one uses an excellent Planar 80/100 (Hassy/Rollei/Linhof) as a moderate tele for a 35mm, he surely enjoys excellent planarity, superb chromatic correction... and maybe a sharpness a bit disappointing. Time ago, I read a good article on the various "declinations" of the famous Biogon design (Zeiss - Ludwig Bertele) : 90° coverage... 21mm on Contax, 38mm on Hasselblad, 53mm on Linhof 6x9, 75mm on Linhof 9x12... with a resolution regularly descending from one focals to the next.

k-hawinkler Posted January 12, 2012 Share #6 Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Luigi, That's what I thought, different design criteria, in general not optimal for 35 mm format. Best, K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
