Dear LUG-friends
1) survey: Componon S 2.8 50mm
Componon S 4 80mm
Componon 4 35mm
I use these in a IFF, QUODGON which is Italian
I the far past, my student time, I had a Opemus with an EL Nikkor,
which I liked very much
2) references:
I cannot remember that anyone referred to publications or tests.
Nevertheless in the Dutch publication "CAMERA MAGAZINE" nr 3/98 a
comparative test was published on the APO Componon HM 40mm 2.8, Componon S
50mm 2.8, Rodagon 50 mm 2.8 and the EL-nikkor 50mm 2.8. They summarised
their conclusions as follows:(my translation)
" some people will find the El-Nikkor to sharp, other will prefer the
contrast of the Componon and others will be charmed by the "tone-range" of
the Rodagon. (all this for B&W)" The did not pick a winner.
Ciao
