This lens has been designed for use on press or similar cameras or on the Kodak Flurolite Enlarger A when used as a camera, where excellence of performance and high speed are desired. It has been corrected for all the usual lens aberrations and works equally well at all distance settings from infinity to 3 1/2 feet from the lens. When a shorter lens-to-subject distance is used, it is advisable to stop the lens below maximum aperture, particularly for work demanding critical definition. It is especially suited for use with Kodak color sheet films. The performance of this lens, like other Ektars, is unsurpassed by any lens of similar type. Like all other Ektar Lenses, this lens is Lumenized. This lens is only supplied in a Kodak Flash Supermatic Shutter.
