Thanks for the info! I guess it wasn't anything special if you don't still have it in your possession?kds315* wrote:I had that 55mm (APO-) Computar but either sold it or dislocated it...
Quite nice, came in nice box. Happened to talk to the designer once before he deceased, he sent me a bunch of documents about the Computar lenses; need to dig it out...

Also have quite of others of that series...
Mr Kostenko, that seller, was after my lens like the devil after a soul but this is not mine ;-)
Well it is good, but having over 1000 lenses makes it hard at times to locate one ;-)kaleun96 wrote:Thanks for the info! I guess it wasn't anything special if you don't still have it in your possession?kds315* wrote:I had that 55mm (APO-) Computar but either sold it or dislocated it...

Any of the other lenses in that series worth it? Always hard to find a non-delaminated/separated copy on eBay and even if you do you wonder if it's just going to run into those issues eventually anyway.
I picked up the 8-element Bogen 4/60 that I mentioned earlier in this thread. Unfortunately it's no good, the Osawa/Hoya/Bogen 3.5/40 of the same series seems to be a better performer. Maybe I got a bad copy but it is in flawless condition so must've come that way from the factory or perhaps knocked about in its box.

I ran some informal tests when I first got the Bogen. I was using a small metal ruler as it gave me an indication of magnification, CAs, corner performance, and ability to resolve detail (mainly dust on the ruler). Some of those test photos with various lenses can be found at the below link and even though I put the Bogen 4/60 up against some good performers, it didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped.kds315* wrote: The Bogen 4/60 I also have (two diff makers actually, HOYA) and it performs rather well!

Dislocating lenses sounds painful.. So that was why you were after my copy of that lens. Have you seen any copy of that lens without delamination issues in the last few years?kds315* wrote:I had that 55mm (APO-) Computar but either sold it or dislocated it...

I haven't been looking since, only a friend of mine (he wanted a 55mm, hence why I asked), has a few delaminated zoom ones...dickb wrote:Dislocating lenses sounds painful..

yes, Computar zoom enlager lensesdickb wrote:Delaminated zoom ones - you mean Computar dl zoom lenses?
