I'm getting close to purchasing my first LF (4 x 5) camera. My interests will be architectural and landscape. I suppose you could say I fall within "buy the best glass you can afford" camp.
Even though I have no LF experience from which to draw, my experience with astronomical instruments tend to lead me towards Schneider's reputation for quality glass. I realize that this is one of those areas that falls within "personal tastes," but I'd be interested comments and experiences from those that have used both Schneider and Rodenstocks lenses.
For my first lens, I'll be choosing the 150mm focal length.
So now the decision becomes which 150mm lens:
Rodenstock APO-Sironar-S 150mm/5.6
Schneider APO-Symmar-L 150mm/5.6
