    New lens . . . Linhof (Schneider) 240mm Tele-Xenar 5.5

    Just picked this lens up for $125 - beautiful shape, Synchro-Compur shutter. I plan on using it as a head shot lens on my Linhof Color Kardan. I don't know anything about this lens but at the price and condition, I jumped.

    Please enlighten me . . . and if I ever go 5x7, will it cover?

    According to https://www.keh.com/256633/240-f5-5-...42-mt-4x5-lens:

    Focal Length: 240mm
    Aperture Range f/: f/5.5 - f/32
    Shutter Type: Compur 1 Synchro, B, T
    Maximum Recommended Film Format Inches: 4x5"
    Angle of Coverage at f/22: 67°
    Image Circle at f/22: 252mm @ Infinity
    Filter Size: 48mm
    Weight/Length: 13.6oz/3"

    It might just cover 5x7 at infinity, since a 7 inch square has a diagonal of ~250mm.

    At closer than infinity, it will cover more of course.
