Title: Rodenstock Apo-Sironar digital on a Cambo Wide
Post by: Streetwise on September 12, 2007, 12:19:57 pm

According to the Leaf tech bulletin from 5/07, a good lens to use on the Cambo Wide DS, Leaf Aptus 65, is the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar digital HR 35mm f/4.

I found a place that will rent me a Rodenstock 35mm digital for the Cambo, but the guy says it's the "non-HR" version.  I also have another place (Calumet) that will rent me a Schneider Apo-Digitar XL 35mm f/5.6, but according to the bulletin, it's more prone to color cast than the Rodenstock HR.

Does anyone have any experience with the non-HR version of the Rodenstock?

Thanks

Dave
