Polaroid 43.53mm F/6.6
Moderators: rjlittlefield, ChrisR, Chris S., Pau
The 7-element Scanner Nikkor was built to project 24mm film (the short edge of 35mm film) on a 32mm sensor, i.e. it was designed for 1.33x magnification. Using the lens on full frame is already stressing the design quite a lot but it works reasonably well. Using it at 2.3x is simply too much... just my opinion...

Link? I can't find it.Lou Jost wrote:A very similar Polaroid f/4.9 36.6mm 6 element lens showed up on eBay today for $6. I grabbed it. That suggests there may be a whole series of these lenses, some faster (hence potentially sharper) than the f/6.6 lens discussed here. Something to watch for.
Edited to add: found it. Bought one. There is one left:

I bought it, Ray, so it's gone. Here's the link:

Looks like these lenses have been for sale since before Nov 28 2018. That was the last revision, when the seller lowered the BIN to $6.Lou Jost wrote:I bought it, Ray, so it's gone. Here's the link:
