Lens for 4x5

[Alan Klein]

I have this lens without the Linhof name. Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 150mm f/5.6 It's a pretty sharp lens. Here are some samples. If you click on the picture after it opens, it will zoom in and you can see how sharp..

The great view camera lens equalizer f22, applies.

The 150mm Symmar S has a 210mm image circle so lots of room for movements. By the way most later LF shutters Copal or Compur or Prontor,have 2 governors. 1- 1/30 and 1/60 and above. So saying if 1 second is accurate, they all are may be misleading.

The 180mm is also quite good though all the manufacturers lenses were improved. The Symmar S is quite good on black and white, but for color you might look to a newer iteration.

Rod, Why is the Symmar S not good with color?
