Physical information about Schneider 47mm Super Angulon XL

[sanking]

I am trying to figure out if an experimental camera has enough room to fit a 47mm Super Angulon XL. What I need to know is the maximum width of the rear elements (at the point of greatest extension), and the length of this component, measured from base of the shutter. Thanks for the information, or link to a specification sheet that would show what I am looking for.

Sal,

Thanks for the link.

Unfortunately the 47mm SAXL won't work for me as the rear element is too wide to clear a baffle in the camera, which is 52mm wide.

Sal,

Would you have a link to a data sheet for the older 47mm f/5.6 Super Angulon?

Or if anyone who has this lens can measure the width of the rear element for me?

The link Keith posted is the only one I can find in Schneider's archive. Unfortunately, it doesn't include the rear-cell mechanical dimensions you seek. Hopefully someone with a greater command of German can better navigate Schneider Kreuznach's site than I'm able to. Even better would be actual measurements by an owner of that lens.

You know about the option of putting the back of the lens on through the back of the camera after the shutter is in place, right? If the only problem is the width of the baffle for inserting the lens, but the baffle is relatively forward and out of the way once the lens is on (usually a restriction, round hole just behind the board, that's how to do it.

Schneiders own site is not that helpful anymore since their redesign, when they took off all the Archive information. Fortunately there is the Internet Archive, aka WayBack Machine:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110906...an_su_1963.pdf

The old 47mm f/8 had 34mm back diameter according to that document (column 10 of the table on p.1)

The older f/5.6 had 43mm back diameter, the link is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20110906...an_su_1995.pdf

Thanks, but that would be very inconvenient in this case since the camera is semi-permanently mounted and there is no access from the rear of the baffle.

Thanks, the 47mm f/5.6, with a rear diameter of 43 mm, should work for me.

Surprising how hard it is to obtain this type of information.
