The standard lens for conventional professional photography should provide a medium to large image angle, high speed and best image quality. These demands are perfectly met by the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-N. As a standard lens, it is used with a focal length which roughly corresponds to the diagonal of the film format. With longer focal lengths larger taking distances are possible.   The Apo-Sironar-N is a lens for universal use which has been modified to provide the highest image reproduction quality. Its special strengths can be seen when complex, fine structures in the outer part of the image circle have to be reproduced. Its field angle has been increased to 75° and so permits even more generous shifts. Therefore, the Apo-Sironar-S is also the ideal standard lens for applications which require particularly large parallel shifts to correct the perspective. As a result of the elimination of the secondary spectrum thanks to the use of ED glass materials with anomalous dispersion (ED = extra low dispersion), no visible color fringing occurs even at edges with extreme contrast. In addition, the light fall-off towards the image corners (vignetting) has been reduced for a more uniform illumination. Thanks to this high optical performance in the edges of the field, the six-element Apo-Sironar-S can be used with a wider aperture than other large format lenses in order to avoid blur due to diffraction, e.g. with f-stop 16 as its working aperture instead of f-stop 22. This is an additional advantage for outdoor shots due to the shorter exposure time this allows.
