Both lenses are distinguished by outstanding optical properties, such as low distortion, evenly high resolution over the entire image circle of 900mm and large adjustment reserves, even with the popular 7"x17" and 8"x20" panorama formats.

The 1100 XXL lens is optionally available with the Copal 3 shutter with the maximum aperture of F22, or with a cylinder body with plug-in diaphragms, a maximum aperture of F14, and flange mounting. The smallest diaphragm opening is in each case F128. In addition, all XXL lenses have a filter thread in front and in back.

The new XXL product line is the result of exclusive, small-scale manufacturing: craftsmanship is written large here. Every first-time buyer can have his name engraved on the nameplate ring of the elegant brass mount at no charge (later owners may also have this done at cost).
