150mm f/4.5 schneider

[radchad]

hi,
i am new to LF, and i have a 150mm f/4.5 schneider-kreuznach, and was wondering if anyone knew the stats on it converage etc. I saw the one on the lens round up, but it was a f/5.6. I was also just currious about how old it is single coated i think, etc.
thanks

If you check the Schenider website they should have all that info plus IIRC a serial number list to check the age.

Thanks, that helped alot, but what does a filter size of
M 40.5 X 0.5 mean? is it a 40.5mm standard thread?
Thanks
Chad

Hi Chad,

According to the Schneider chart that is the correct filter size. That means that the thread is for a 40.5mm filter with a .5mm pitch. That should be the standard size 40.5mm filter that you can buy from B&H Photo or any other large or fair size camera shop that stocks these filters.
