Looking for a new lens for scanning 35mm film on a full frame Sony. Since I started using an RGB light source, my Sigma 105 Art lens sometimes shows color vignetting, and generally requires a lot of software correction, so I’m looking for something more optically compatible. I tried a 55/2.8 Micro Nikkor and a 60mm f4 Rodagon (non-WA). The latter was flatter, but neither is as snappy as the Sigma.
Ideally, I would grab an Apo Rodagon D or Apo Componon, but since those are unobtainium where I live, I’m looking for alternatives. Has anyone used the Voigtlander 65mm Apo Lanthar for scanning? I know it is reputed to be excellent in general, but scanning is a special set of constraints. I know it needs some extension to get to 1:1, but that’s no problem. How is the flatness? Any quirks? Other ideas?
