Rodenstock Doppel Eurynar 1:6.8f 24cm Focusing Problem

Here: www.pacificrimcamera.com/rl/00718/00718.pdf is a 1912 Rodenstock catalog with more information about the Eurynar and other early R'stock lenses than the VM has.

Thanks for the link Dan, it shows all the Eurynars as Dialytes.

One of the major problems with the Vade Mecum is it really pre-dates the Internet as we know it today and is based on work from 1994 and earlier. There's a need for a new resource for all this lens data that can be continuously updated.

Ian, I can't imagine anyone replacing or even updating the VM. I think (he says, modestly) that this: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AggQfcczvHGNkGG_P2z8Qiyc8Qo-
is about as good as we're going to get. Less complete, with, on the whole, fewer value judgments, possibly less inaccurate. And it reflects my lack of interest in cine lenses and lenses for 35 mm still cameras. But I do update it as new information comes in.

Thinking of new information, I just added a link to a piece on center filters. Some may find the article useful. I hope that a piece I wrote on relatively modern Ilex lenses will come out. When it does, I'll add the link. I'd like to do a piece on Wollensak lenses but there's just no information on their last designs, which are the ones we know least about.

Thinking of value judgments and inaccuracy, d'you think I should add a link to my lens diary to the list?

Dan,

Thank you again. The Rodenstock catalog is amazing. It was nice reading about my lens from the original catalog. It is almost like being transported back in time.
