Wim, their 90 is a very simple design but the Canon TS-E 90 is even simpler with only 5 elements?[/quote]

6 actually, as I mentioned <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. It is a double gaussian design.

The new Hartblei 80 2.8 has 7 but it doesn't seem to be sharper than the Canon with fewer elements.



Also I didn't think their 50 is a particularly simple design. I was worried about it being quite complex, although it's just a 2.8 <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Actually, anything shorter than about 60 mm as a tilt-shift for FF is going to be most likely a WA or even a retrofocus WA design, introducing by definition a lot of extra complexity <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.

If they're anything like their other APO-Digitar lenses, I wouldn't worry about resolution. The Phase One P65+ has the same pixel density as a 24MP FF and I've seen the APO-Digitars resolving mind-blowing detail on those <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



GTW

Kinda like the TS-E 24L II and TS-E 17? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Kind regards, Wim
