Komura SW 90mm f6.3???

[nyoung]

Just picked up a 4x5 kit including a Komura SW 90mm f6.3 wide angle lens and I can't seem to locate any info on it vis-a-vis coverage etc. Anybody out there familiar with this one??

I am at work now, so I can't check all the details. But I had one of these once, and played with it for a little while. It was not a bad lens it covered 4x5 pretty well and had an image circle of about 210mm. It was sharp and fairly contrasty. When I get home tonight I will try to find the data sheet I have on it.

Sorry its not much, but I hope it helps.

Komura made a fairly large line of Large Format Lenses. I have a 75mm that is very nice on 4x5 for a very wide angle view, and I also have the 400mm and 500mm Telephoto lenses. I have used the 500mm Telephoto on 5x7 with some image fall off. These are good lenses.

I have a Komura 210mm F6.3 lens, it's very sharp and has a good contrast. It's a little light and smaller than the F5.6 lens, so, ever time I go hiking, I will take this one instead of my caltar IIN.

I think the Komura 90mm lens should also be a good performer.

Thanks for the replies. Looking forward to trying this one out when it comes back from CLA.

Sorry to barge in on the thread, but Phototone is the first person I have heard with a Komura 400T.

I have one of these in a Copal 3 shutter and haven't been able to find any information on this brand, where, if anywhere, can I find information?

Mick.

Ps:- I use it for 4x5 on a Shen Hao

There is some info on Komuras at www.cameraeccentric.com

The first 2 pages of this brochure is about the sum-total of information. It does not list the 90mm.

Many thanks to both of you for the Komura link.

Quite interesting to note that they produced a 152 f2.8 for the 4x5 camera.

Seems that they were on the right track to make waves, but somehow didn't pull it off.
