    Schneider vs. Rodenstock

    Opinions please on these two lens families. Plan to use them on a TK23. Thanks for the anticipated helpful information.

    Hi Greg,

    I use lenses by both makers with my Linhof TK 45S. I have more Rodenstock than Schneider lenses, but both make outstanding lenses.

    Ford vs chevy, mercedes vs bmw, ford vs dodge diesel, etc., etc.

    If you will be shooting chromes to give to clients pick one brand and know that it will be as good as the other. If not, pick lenses based on focal length, weight, and max aperture and don't worry about brands.

    You need some of each and then a Nikkor or two, also.

    For color or black and white?

    A modern lens from any of the four big players (3 now that Nikon is out) will do the job, and a nice one at that.

    Either lens would be wonderful. I do landscapes and find the rodenstock to be just perceptibly warmer. The schneider will be dead neutral, but has an impersonal feel to me.

    Eric,

    Don't forget Fujinon lenses...

    Greg,

    All of these manufacturers produce great lenses and I'm sure you'll be happy with any of them.

    I use lenses from all of them!

    Cheers
    Life in the fast lane!

    It is probably just obsessive compulsiveness in action but I like to buy all one brand or the other so the voices in my head are quiet.

    Frank, Those voices are the ghosts of the vast right wing, telling you to bait another lib.
