300mm f/8.5 Fujinon-C
Copal 1
Multicoated
Still in production
Gigantic image circle
Insignificantly faster
300mm f/9 Fujinon-A
Copal 1
Multicoated (sometimes)
Made from unobtanium, production long discontinued
Even-more-gigantic image circle
Insignificantly slower
For formats up to 8x10, is this a decision made purely on price and
availability, or is there some important difference between these two
fine pieces of glass?
Inquiring minds and all that.
TIA
Steve
