    Overview

    The Rathenower Optische Werke Visionar 92mm f/1.6 is a projection lens from the early 1950s, originally made in the GDR. It has a 6-element, 2-group design and weighs 610g. Optically, it vignettes on full frame when focused to infinity. Build-wise, it can be adapted using step-down rings and a focus helicoid. The lens suits photographers seeking a fast, vintage projection lens for adapted use, though it requires careful mounting and has noticeable vignetting.
