I've read as many of the threads as I possibly can, so, I'm just looking for anyone that can point me to samples of various portraits taken with the lenses I'm considering.
I've been using a Schneider 240/5.6 Symmar S MC on my Zone IV (Wista version, not the later Wisner) field camera. It's a big lens, as other threads have mentioned, can't really focus close enough for a head shot. I'm okay with that.
I let a friend borrow this lens, and, he dropped it out in the desert and scratched it. He owns it now and is buying me something new.
I found this on ebay:

What is that shutter/mount? I have a spare Copal #3, can I just unscrew the front/rear elements and pop them in my shutter?
Other lenses:
Tessars - not sure, did they make a 240/250?
Rotelar 270mm - someone else on the forum mentioned this lens.... is it an interesting piece of glass for portraits?

Found a Nikkor 240/5.6 at KEH, I've always found Nikkor and Schneider to be very close.
I probably won't be convinced to shoot 210mm, since I sold that to get the 240mm!
I guess I'm just looking to see samples of people's work shot with other lenses - especially the Tessars.
Thanks!
