35 mm angulon/curtagon

Schenider did a 35/2,8 lens in M42 : "curtagon" (for Edixa cameras, but, in fact, for M42) with 7 elements. And did an "angulon" for Rolleiflex sl, a 35 mm F/2,8 with 7 elements too.

Are both the same? Anybody know this?

Reference : In both mounts, Schn did a tele xenar 135/3,5 with 5 elements. (not the tele xenar 135/4 for the retina reflex)


Thanks.

They don't seem to be the same lens.

According to Ivor Matanle's book Collecting and Using Classing SLRs, the Schneider Curtagon 35mm F/2.8 Full Auto Diaphragm in Edixa mount had only 5 elements. The author gives it a 3 star rating on a 4 star scale, the Tele Xenar, among others, reaching the maximum rating.

According to Captain Jack's Rollei SL35 Lens Page, the Schneider Kreuznach 35mm f2.8 Auto SL-Angulon had indeed 7 elements. Ivor Matanle gives it 4 star rating.

Cheers!

Thank you, Abbazz, very much.

It's rare a wider angle lens with F/2,8 with only five elements, no?

Five elements have F/3,5 or F/4.

But BOOKS MATCH MEMORY, NO?

Thanks again. Regards. Wink

The early curtagon2,8/35 is a 5 elements lens. The later version (1970) is a 6 element lens.

Here is the link to M42 Edixa lenses

You will find many information about the old Schneider lenses on their hompage.
