Macro-Planar HFT
120mm f 5.6
120mm f 4
Reproduction lens
Diagonal angle: 36 degrees

Originally intended to be a close up and reproduction lens, this is an excellent lens for portraiture and general photography as well.

This newer type Makro Planar is more focused towards close up performance than the S-Planar 120mm/f5.6 and Makro-Planar 120mm/f5.6HFT. It is well suited for portraiture and quite suitable to picture objects at infinity.

The picture at left shows a close up of the front of the Makro Planar f4 lens. This lens was designed with HFT coating in mind.

The aperture range runs from 4 to 32.

Macro-Planar HFT
120mm f 5.6

Originally intended to be a close up and reproduction lens, this is an excellent lens for portraiture and general photography as well.

The maximum sharpness is located between 1:1 and 10:1 magnification (objects ranging from 6cm to 60cm width (2 1/4" to 2'). This lens is also very suitable for retro mounting on SL66 cameras for greater magnification. The S-Planar is practically distortion free. The optical design is similar to the standard lens Planar 2.8/ 80mm. Due to the recessed front lens element, the lens is not easily exposed in sun light.

The picture at left shows a close up of the front of the Makro Planar f5.6 lens. This lens has an optical design identical to the original S-Planar 120mm/f5.6, which came without HFT coating.

The aperture range runs from 5.6 to 45 for enhanced depth of field in close up.
