This table was originally compiled by Michael Gudzinowicz (ab366@osfn.rhilinet.gov).

This list of view camera lenses was prepared to compare older lenses which may be available on the used market. There are numerous blank values in the table for which no data was available. For recent designs and prices, contact the major manufacturers.

"AP" is the maximum aperture (f-stop opening). "Coverage" is the lens coverage, usually stopped down to f/22. In some instances, copy lenses coverage at 1:1 was divided by 2 to estimate a value for infinity focus. "E/G" are the elements and groups used in the design. "Flange" is the film to flange distance for the lens.

The prices were those given in the source lists, and different source lists are differentiated by a numeral under "YR" (year). This information was included only to give an indication of when a lens might have been the current model at that time. The lenses are in Copal shutters, with perhaps 2 or 3 exceptions.

The numeric designations under "Yr" indicate the source of the information:

#1 is a copy of a page of an equipment guide published in the mid 70's which gives list prices. The exact reference has been lost, and a xerox copy was used since some information is better than...
#2 is a list published in Petersen's in 1984 (list prices).
#3 is from the 1991 Calumet catalog (Calumet prices)
#4 is from the 1991 Sinar Bron catalog (Sinar prices).

Feel free to distribute and update the list... One can't copyright a list of specs (no creativity is demonstrated) and none is claimed. There are duplicate entries from different sources, which I decided to leave in the list. If someone has additional information, I'll try to add it if you contact me.

There's a source for Vintage Schneider lenses too.

Please send any corrections/suggestions to: me. Thank you!
