Hello!
Please, I’ve just concluded that I need one of these three lenses as a standard lens for my 8x10 camera, and would like to ask for some advice concerning filters and lens hoods.
The information I have:
Super Angulon 210mm 8 Single coating 127mm
Super Angulon 210mm 8 Multicoating 135mm
Rodenstock Grandagon N 200mm 6.8 127mm
Schneider Super Symmar 210mm 5.6 135mm 72mm
Schneider 135mm Center filter 152mm 135mm
The biggest b&w contrast new filters available for sale are the Tiffen of 127mm.
And the questions:
1. I saw some references to a center filter 6 with 127mm. Has the Schneider Center Filter 6 changed some years ago from 135/127 to 152/135mm?
2. What is the best solution for having one of these three lenses with center filter, contrast b&w filters and hood?
A) Super Angulon Single Coating or Grandagon with an eventual old 127mm Center Filter and Tiffen b&w filters?
B) Super Angulon Multicoating with new Center Filter 6. In this case, what b&w filters to use?
C) Symmar XL with new Center Filter 6 and 72mm b&w filters.
3. In any case (A, B or C), what lens hood to use?
Thanks so much!
