I'm considering a 150mm lens for 8x10 (shooting color transparency and color neg ), mostly landscape - for both full frame 8x10 and panoramic 4x10. I've seen som e Nikkor 150mm SW f/8 lenses for sale or listed on eBay for prices a fair amount cheaper than the Schneider 150mm f5.6 XL lens. The specs on coverage for both l enses is similar, allowing for manufacturer's variation of advertising (Nikkor i s listed around 400mm and the Schneider at 386mm). I would guess that the Schnei der is the better all-around lens, but given the price differential (at least us ed) I was wondering if there is a major difference in performance between the tw o. Does anyone have experience with either (or both) lenses, as far as light fall off and sharpness towards the edges ? Thank you.
