context_section_description: These are wide-angle lenses which have been developed in several steps.  The Super-Angulons are Biogon designs, making for huge, heavy lenses, but also giving very generous angles of coverage.  The f/4 lenses give 95° of coverage, the f/8 models give 100°, and the f/5.6 units give a 105° coverage angle.  The f/4 and f/5.6 lenses are 8-element, 4-group designs, while the f/8 lenses are older 6-element, 4-group, symmetrical designs.  Coating technologies improved along the production life of these lenses, and recent Super-Angulons are multicoated.
