300mm f5.5 tele-xenar ??

[JimboWalker]

I am picking up a very nice S-K 300mm f5.5 Tele-Xenar soon for my Pacemaker Graphic. As hard as I look, I cannot find out what the image circle is, what will be my bellows draw, and how much does it weigh? I am looking forward to using it! It is too big of a pain to try and adapt my Nikon 300mm f9 M. Thanks!

Here there is no 300: https://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/tele-xenar/

If its is 300... can it be a really old one ?

If it is a very old model the circle can be 7.5", so 190mm

Yes... I just bought one! I think made around 1951. Tried to download a photo of it, but having trouble figuring out how.

Thanks Still no other info I'm curious about. Guess I'll find out when I receive it. This is the lens I'm getting.
