The new WA-Digaron-lenses are (weak) retrofocus-designs, the number of elements/groups already shows how difficult those lenses are to design/assemble. A Summilux 24mm also costs twice as much as a 50mm... As long as your MFDB (or you're shooting film) can deal with more oblique light rays, classic, symmetrical designs are still the best choice (despite vignetting).
GeorgeI'll be using a P45+ and a cambo rs what lenses would you recommend that would resolve to the next generation MFDB like a P65+? I would like the investment in lenses to last beyond the P45+. up to 20mm shift so image circle is a consideration also. Marc
Well I think your pushing it. You won't find a wide lens with 20mm shift for a P65. Or I must have missed a lens. The 47XL will be getting really soft at these shift numbers, on all other wide lenses you will already have hit a black circle. I am not 100% sure but I think to get something like a 20mm shift you need to get up to 70mm + I know that my Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 90mm can shift that much with the P65. The Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 40mm however can't. Nore can the Schneider 35 or any wider lens.
