I can't get acceptable prints larger than 8x from my
Century using the Xenar lens. I've examined the lens
and it appears clear (no fungus, etc.). The 3-element
Graftar off of my other Century makes sharper images!
The Xenar lacks sharpness at all aperatures. I've
used a tripod and taken all precautions to avoid
camera shake, but still can't get good prints on FP4+
with the Xenar....bad lens?
