Now, Mister Critic, having bashed the rather neat Duonar (CZJ > contemplated a 4X version but this never entered production, though I > understand that the Zeiss Jena works has a single example, dated from around > 1950), what do you think of the Prewar Magnar?

Marc: I never used the Duonar, but the official technical data says it does not cover the 6x6 format, it produces a circular image with 43mm diameter, I don't like a lens that couldn't cover the camera format, perhaps it could be interesting for some effect sometimes, the Report 2 says you need the Rolleikin for the Duonar to get a regular 24x36mm frame. According the Magnar technical data, it was necessary f 22 for sharpness right out to the edges, it is described like "astronomical telescope for mounting on taking lens...", it converted the 6x6 75mm lens into 300mm lens and the 4x4 60mm lens into 240mm lens, the maximum speed was f 9 for 6x6 and f 7.3 for 4x4., the sharp image area was 3x3cm with the lens wide open for 6x6.
