I have a Schneider Super Symmar 80mm on order from Badger Graphic. According to the Schneider Literature, "Performance requires effort
The well-known saying “from nothing comes nothing” purports to state: Whoever
demands high performance should not stint on expense. For that reason, SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH has employed aspheric technology, which, thanks to the most modern computerized numerically controlled machine tools and processing methods, has only recently been used at reasonable cost in mass production, together with refined methods of computerized
calculation, so as to set a new standard for lenses with the Super-Symmar
XL Aspheric.
So that its outstanding image quality achieved is not placed at risk, the photographer
must observe the following rules:
ˇ. The lens, which at great expense was adjusted at the factory during its installation
in the shutter, should never be unscrewed
and taken apart unnecessarily, in order not to change the very precise distance between the front and rear component
which must be maintained, and in order to prevent its being screwed on crooked if both parts are not put back together properly."
As a newbie to LF, does this mean I need to return the lens mounted to lens board to the factory for recalibration?
In this vein, the Apo-Symmar L 210 lens I received had finger tight rear and front lens elements. Is this typical?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
