Hi,
I am aware of the relationship between Schneider and Linhof and am just wondering if its equivalent might be Rodenstock Sinar.
Schneider Linhof lenses command a better price than just the Schneider lens even though I can't find any MTF curves to compare the Schneider-Linhof lens to the straight Schneider lens. So from my perspective I must take the word of others on the supposed benefits.
I am however able to view Rodenstock lens data quite easily. This makes me trust Rodenstock more than Schneider who only put out glossy brochures as far as I can see. Perhaps their specs can't beat Rodenstock ... ? Surely if they could beat Rodenstock they'd be crowing about it ?
Anyways ... is the Sinar connection any guarantee of optical nirvana in any way?
Rgds,
