Nice set of data Klaus.

Here's a few of mine from a while back - only between 280nm and 420nm, as at the time that was all my light could do.

105mm f4.5 Rayftac UV (new version of the UV Nikkor, but essentially identical).
85mm f4.5 Ultra Achromatic Takumar
105mm f4.3 Zeiss UV Sonnar
105mm f4.5 Coastal Optics

Thanks Jonathan, good work!

Our UV-Nikkor 105mm (Rayfact 105mm) are just about identical, glad to see that!!

I forgot to take out and measure a few others, guess I will do those a bit later, time permitting.
