Title: Apo-Sironar digital 70mm on MFDB
Post by: tho_mas on February 20, 2010, 12:27:41 pm

Does anyone use the above mentioned lens in conjunction with a digital back (7.2 or 6.8 or even 6micron pixel pitch).
Does it perform well without or with moderate movements? Or even with larger movements?
Thanks in advance for any comment about the lens!

Thomas,

I have this 70 which has been rebadged recently to HR Digaron - W.  It is a superb piece of glass.  I'll try to get you a sample from my P65+ in the next day or so.

this 70 is good... the 72 schneider is good also...
if i remenber well, the 72 is better than the 70 without movements
if you need movements, then the bigger 70 makes sense.

I had the Sironar 70 and now have a Schneider Digitar 72mm.  They are both superb. I switched over to the Schneider so that I could use it with the SES.
