Primoplan f1.9 This was made as: 30, 50, 58, 75, 80, 100mm and apparently 180mm. Mey022. This
5-glass design is controversial,and the problem seems to be that while the centre sharpness is good, the
edge and corner is less nice.

It is Arriflex standard mount, and the optical design is the typical Primoplan type(5E in 4G).
Since the optical configuration is not published, I will show the result of the X-ray CT scanning
and drawing created from it.

Wow this is cool! I've seen x-rays of Panavision lenses before. Now I'm hooked and am wanting for x-rays of so many lenses...
