Talk:Angenieux retrofocus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Soo how does this lens change the appearance of the image? Seems like something that should be included in the article!

It doesn't, that's the whole point. It just increases the distance between the lens and the film. Which is nice if you have a lot going on there, like in an SLR, where there needs to be room for the mirror. For a rangefinder camera, you don't need retrofocus. -- Egil 20:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't except that in theory you should achieve better sharpness with non-retrofocus lenses.... However it crontradicts my own experience as the sharpest wide-angle lens I've ever used is a retrofocus... Ericd 13:17, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: Ericd. I'm curious, what is the sharpest wide-angle lens you've ever used? That comment was made 14 months ago, so maybe that has changed. Anyways, thanks in advance (if you even ever read this) madmatt213 17:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
