Schneider Symmar EX 5.6/150

My cousin in Japan just gave me a 2-1/4 Horseman VH. It came with this lens. (Schneider Symmar EX 5.6/150) Does anyone have any information about it? I did a Google search and came up empty.

Thanks,

John

I had one of these for a while. I emailed scheidered and they told me it was essentially an APO Symmar. It meant for sale in Japan and Korea, though a few leaked out to other markets. Mine was a very good lens, quite sharp and contrasty.

Blumine,

That was my suspicion since it looked so much like an Apo Symmar. The camera/lenses came from Japan so it makes perfect sense.

Thanks,

John
