That sounds really promising. The HD-8B that he adapted is currently available from a handful of sellers, which is nice. There's some color correction in these, and a healthy amount of aspherical elements.

All the lens data I'm digging up on these Deltas has been from curtpalme forums.

Here's the thread that the archive.org link came from:

And here's another one that yields some helpful specs on the HD-8B:

If the lens is about a 140mm f/1, that would get us to about 37/0.27 and 28/0.2 equivalents on 4x5 and 5x7, respectively... Might be time to make a Light Bazooka.

Excellent- yes, this is the long, detailed thread comparing performance of these lenses, in particular which ones are the best. I remember reading it at the time, but posting now I couldn't easily find it- too many similarly detailed threads on avforum and avsforum!

Good to hear there is some colour correction, I will look more closely at that. From memory the first thread contains basically all the information you'd need to decide which to use.
