Hi du a gwyn

You do realise that this is a process lens, primarily designed for copy work, not general photography ? Don't expect to get great results shooting landscapes on a lens designed for photographing flat sheets of paper at relatively close distances.

Hello du a gwyn,

I don't have 240mm apo gerogon However I do have a 240 G-Claron, which is also a copy lens. I find it works beautifully for close and landscape images and easily covers 10x8. I would try it it may be very good.

Hi,
I have used a 270mm Apo Gerogon on 8x10 without a shutter once. My lens cap was the shutter (2 seconds exposure). Good tranny (a bit underexposed - that's my metering fault though) and sharp too. Here is the shot. Cropped to 4x10.

Regards

Chong
