    Youre probably right, I mean you are right I don't have the 360 for comparison
    But compared to the Symmar it is bigger and though some of the total size is due to the compur 3 shutter the elements themselves are bigger too.
    How does the S version differ from the older Symmar optically/picturevise?
    Kind regards

    The difference between a Symmar and a Symmar-S is, AFAIK, an optical "tweak". That means that if you shoot test diagrems at 20 paces it is possible that a qualified optical technician might be able to tell the difference.

    So which test charts are the best?
    Ok no significant difference.
    Thanks Ole. Oh, where you about to sell your 30X40 platecamera?
    Kind regards
