The Boyer Paris Apo Saphir is a masterclass in optical correction, originally designed as a high-precision process lens for reproduction work where color registration and flatness of field were paramount. For the modern analog photographer, this “Apo” designation translates to staggering sharpness and a neutral color palette that excels in technical large format photography and macro work. It is a slim, elegant piece of French engineering that offers a disciplined, high-fidelity alternative to the more “character-heavy” lenses of the era.The TechnicalsManufacturer: Boyer Paris (France)Model: Apo SaphirFocal Length: 240mmMaximum Aperture: f/10-F128Serial Number: 804460Optical Design: Apochromatic Tessar-type variant, optimized for 1:1 to infinity with zero color fringing.Condition: Excellent aesthetic condition with crisp engraving and a smooth-running aperture.Optics: Crystal clear glass; the coating is intact, and the internal elements are free of haze or fungus.Iris: Sophisticated multi-blade diaphragm providing a perfectly circular aperture for refined out-of-focus areas.Shipping: Securely packaged and shipped from our Dutch atelier.Keywords: Boyer Paris Apo Saphir, 240mm f10, Apochromatic Lens, Large Format Macro, Vintage Process Lens, Analog Photography, French Precision.The Apo Saphir is famous for its flat field—are you planning to use this for high-end product photography or perhaps for a ultra-sharp landscape setup on a 4×5 or 5×7 rail camera?Like this:Like Loading… Related
