    Overview

    The Rathenower Optische Werke Visionar 84mm f/1.6 is an ultra-fast projection lens with an all-metal barrel and six elements. Center sharpness is very good, but it lacks a filter mount, aperture, and helicoid. Its image circle covers APS-C and can illuminate full frame. Weaknesses include weight and no diaphragm. Best suited for adapted use on mirrorless or DSLR cameras by enthusiasts willing to work without aperture control.
