Help needed on Heligons

(1/4) > >>

elsid:
I am thinking of buying a Rodenstock Heligon. I tried to find a 100mm 1.6 without success (for now). Is the 95mm 1.4 in the same league?
What would be the focal lengths that are worth getting (and can be converted to the F mount without much hassle)?
I understand the whims of these lenses and I accept the challenge.
Thank, in advance, for your help.

Erik Lund:
They are still available,,,

elsid:
Thanks Erik for your fast response. I would have to pay a considerable amount of money to customs for this price, plus it is not clear if it is a 1.6
or 1.5, (can this me surmised by the ser No?).

Erik Lund:
Well this is the one that is recommended in other threads here on NikonGear the f/1.6 -  the f/1.5 looks quite different!

The price is quite reasonable considering what a similar macro lens costs IMHO,,,

Bjørn Rørslett:
For once I disagree with Erik - the Heligon linked to is more likely the f/1.5 version. The 100/1.6 is typically labelled XR-Heligon and wasn't used with lasers.
