Thanks Reid,
I appreciate the info!

Does anyone know when Mamiya took over production & the lenses changed names? I seem to recall buying my R-O 100 around about 1973. I think it had the Hexanon lens.

Another Rapid-Omega 100/90mm lens/Tri-X/K2 filter/D76 1:1 sample.

Results like these certainly show what the camera is capable of. Thanks for sharing these shots.

I was prowling around the interweb for information on the Rapid Omegas. I discovered something interesting. The 90mm lens is described as a Tessar formula. That explains a lot. No wonder I like my negatives from that lens.

Something new from my long departed R-O 100.
