But the differences are very minor. For the Leica that means a magnification of 1.15x and for the Ermanox 1.33x.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-47246413333157803942018-10-25T09:44:31.470-05:002018-10-25T09:44:31.470-05:00Isn't that rather vague?

The focal length of a normal lens is close to the same as the diagonal of the film format. That's why the early Leicas came equipped with 50mm lenses and the Ermanox with a 100mm lens.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-36028897841733968632018-10-25T09:43:16.472-05:002018-10-25T09:43:16.472-05:00What does the expression "normal lens" r...What does the expression "normal lens" refer to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-35677527236992504322018-10-25T09:42:05.749-05:002018-10-25T09:42:05.749-05:00What was the negative size of the Ermanox?What was the negative size of the Ermanox?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-25760640478121299612018-10-25T09:41:34.372-05:002018-10-25T09:41:34.372-05:00The camera was designed to use glass plates in sin...The camera was designed to use glass plates in single plate holders. Ermanox never made any accessories that allowed the use of roll film. However, I did have a Japanese made roll film holder for 127 film in my camera collection which fit the Ermanox. Thus roll film could be used with the camera as well.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-72203500484560980852018-10-25T09:41:02.742-05:002018-10-25T09:41:02.742-05:00Could the Ermanox only be used with glass plates? ...Could the Ermanox only be used with glass plates?
