Hey guys, I'm seeing widely different price ranges on a Schneider Simar lens, some are APO and some are not, and then there is the super Symmar.
The non-APO versions are going as cheap as $150, and the APO versions are going as cheap as five or $600, so I'm wondering what I would be getting by spending the extra couple thousand dollars on the super? If I only care about sharpness and aren't doing much movement on 8 x 10, could I get away with the APO Symmar and get an extremely sharp image?
I am currently using 10 inch commercial Ektar ( which I paid $399 for) and I feel like I could do better, it doesn't seem like the sharpest lens.
I just saw this on eBay and it seems like a pretty good deal:https://www.ebay.com/itm/142259126692
For a guy that can't spend more than about 600 or $700 but wants an extremely sharp lens in the 210 to 240 mm range for use on an 8x10 camera,, are there any other options as well that you guys would recommend? Thank you!
