Hi,
After some months of thinking, I am getting a LF camera : ) !!!
I am trying to keep the system as simple as possible: the
camera, one lens, and the necessary accesories. I may
share the investment with a friend.
The lens that has recently been offered to us is a Xenar
210mm f/6.1 from Schneider Kreuznach. Some months
ago we thought of a shorter focal length, something be-
tween 110 mm. and 150 mm., but this lens is coming our
way, so it looks like we are going to take it. What would
you say is a fair/good price to pay ?? The lens glass is
scratch, mold and fungus free. We are going to see the
lens in the coming days, and except from the fact that it
carries the Schneider "last name", we don't know if it is
a good lens per se. Being the equivalent of a 62(*70)
mm. lens, the lens will be used for full and half body
compositions. As we get better with the handling of the
camera, some portraiture and some still lifes too.
I found one thread about this lens here, it is quite
positive. It would be interesting to hear more from you:

Have you used this lens, any limitations with this focal
length, or this particular lens? Is this lens a good lens
for the purpose we intend to use it?
Thank you, kind regards,
igmolinav : ) !!!
