Super Dynarex 135 /4
I gave this another outing this morning.



Eight hundred years of technical development.

This was taken at 1/20th of a second. I didn't realise the shutter speed had dropped so low. SR really works well, but the small size of this lens helps too.






I love the tele effect here. Total distance is at least 200 yards /metres.




The scabby side of the street





Some 100% crops

This lens is a Tele-Tessar in disguise, and it shows the same great quality.

Looks pretty good! Is this a Bessamatic mount lens?

Excelents pics. You really take the best of the lens.

It's in bessasmatic/ultramatic mount

It was the son of the 150/4 for the prominent.

Very nice and light lens.

Focus from 4 m (there was a "portrait" lens made by voigtlander to focus from 2 to 4 M).

The sunshade original was the same than for the skopar 2,8/50 mm (diameter 40,5 mm)

The skylight filter was so satured color that it seems a correction one.

Be care: tendency to take off the glue of the front element

Voigtlander lens to look for : SKOPAGON 2/40. SUPER GREAT LENS.

The other normal lens : Septon 2/50 is very good lens too.

The only Septon lenses I saw were for Prominent cameras (and both camera and lenses weren't exactly cheap).

Edit... Ultramatic too. But I think the lens is fixed there.

Need further infos I guess, I'm really curious about that lens.

Thank you.
Handy to know the size of the filter thread for definite - it would improve with a hood. Its performance into the bright sky is lessened, but still tolerable, with hardly a trace of CA, and what there is would be easily dealt with in PP. I'll keep an eye on the front element, thanks.

Septon (2/50) was the normal lens for Ultramatics and bessamatics. Was a seven element lens (4-3), prone to flare with normal to low contrast and very sharp at F/4 to 11

Was designed to the last version of the ultramatics and bessamatic (the "CS" in both)


Not septon for prominent, but ultron and nokton.

Ultramatic was in two version : with selenium, and the "CS" with CDS TTL

The Ultramatic CS was one of the few cams with shutter priority and with totally mechanical system, with all the information in the viewfinder.
Very complicated and expensive to repair.

Ultramatics as bessamatics (m, de luxe and CS) were SRL with interchangeable lenses.

You can use in these cams all the lens schneiders and rodenstock for retina reflex with a minimal correction.
