I'm thinking of buying a 360mm telephoto lens for my Ebony 45s, as that is realistically the longest lens I could put on it. I don't want to spend a fortune on a lens I'm not sure I will use much, and Schneider seems the most economical of the major brands. I checked the coverage and focal length on the Schneider data page and the Arton is bigger and the focal length shorter, but is also significantly heavier. The Xenar has been made longer (I think), and so I might have more chance of picking up a bargain. In the end though it comes down to the image. Has anyone shot both and care to comment? I think the regular Xenar is a tessar. Will the tele-xenar render like tessar?
Best, Tim
