My mistake , I didn't spot the different aperture .
It's strange that is missing from this list (
https://www.schneideroptics.com/info..._lenses/xenar/ ) at Schneider .
I did a search on ebay and there's plenty of the lens your asking about on there .
Strange that there's not much information of it on the net .
Seems to of also been available with an M42 mount for 35mm , probably for use on bellows as there seems to be refrances on using it for macro .
Still seems to be of use for just 6x9cm though , maybe an earlier version of the f/4.5 and they just restricted the aperture to improve I.Q leaving the same coverage ?
Would 135mm be to long for you ?
I tend to use my Xenar 135mm f/4.7 on a Crown Graphic and like the results . The stated recomended coverage is for 90x120mm but even with a bit of forward tilt coverage seems fine . The lens is stopped down a bit as I tend to shoot landscape more .
I have quite a few lenses to choose from but this one suits a lot of what I do .
