A lens for indirect radiography. In group medical examinations, 35mm film was used for chest radiography, but the resulting images were too small for accurate diagnosis, so a medium-format (6x6) camera was developed, with a dedicated holder for sheet film as well as film roll. An indirect radiography camera system using this lens was also developed.
