El Nikkor vs Schneider 240

[coat953]

I have recently come into possesion of a De Vere 5108 which came with both the El Nikkor 240mm F5.6 and the Schneider Componon 240 f5.6. which should I sell??

[Lenny Eiger]

Sell the El Nikkor. Componon is a classic. That said, they are going to be different. Make two prints, one with each. See which you like better.

They are notbworth much nowadays. I would keep both just in case.

[Drew Wiley]

Depends on the vintage. But any Componon (vs Componon S) is going to be pretty old. I'd
far rather have the El Nikkor, unless that itself looks dated. Test them.

El Nikkor is a terrific lens, I use it for 5x7, 4x10 and 8x10. I have not used the Schneider in that focal length.

I'll give them both a go and see if I can spot the difference!

The one with cleaner glass should be kept.
