History
The Algular is Old Delft’s 135mm for the Alpa: five elements in three groups, a preset diaphragm from the unusual maximum of f/3.2 to f/32, 270 grams, close focus 1.1 metres, introduced 1952 with the rest of the Dutch set — Alfinon, Alfinar, Alefar — as the Alnea catalogue’s alternative to Schneider’s Tele-Xenar 135mm f/3.5. Production is unpublished and no review has been found.
This history is AI-written, from the sources listed at the foot of the page. Where the record is silent it says so rather than filling the gap — but no human wrote these sentences.
