RE: Eclair Cameras: Zeiss Zoom T3 vs. Zeiss T2

[Michael Welle <wellem@bellsouth.net>]

Hans,
I know you said that the T* coated 10-100 and 11-110 are optically 
equivalent.  That aside, however, let me entertain another idea:

Do you think the 11-110 has a 1.1x converter added by Zeiss?  After all, 
the 1.2x converter added by Optex gives you 0.4 of a stop more (T2.4).  
The 1.15x converter that Van Diemen used to perform gave you 0.3 of a 
stop more (T2.3).  I would think it would reason that Zeiss is simply 
adding a 1.1x convertor to the 10-100 T2 in order to make it an 11-110 
with 0.2 of a stop added (T2.2).  However, I am only postulating and 
have no idea if this is the case.  Do you know if this is correct or 
incorrect?  If it is incorrect why does the Super-16 11-110 have an 
increased focal scale and T-stop?

Thanks,
Mike Welle
