Hi Bernice,
Pics attached. The APO Ronar was in barrel.
I’ve been wanting to pick up something more aimed at portraiture, yet still useable for landscapes or general photography (when stopped down). Since portraits don’t typically call for much movements, I hope the Tele-Xenar will be ok. It was reasonably priced.
Xenar as well as APO Ronar are both on my shortlist, all my Rollei lenses are Schneider and I’m very pleased with their performance, despite all my other LF lenses being Rodenstock.
I already have a APO Sironar S in 210mm so was hoping for something 300mm or slightly more, again more suited to portraits.
From what I’ve seen it’s quite common to choose lenses based on weight (and size), especially for hiking or portability. But I’m still new to LF and learning every day.
What kind of formula is the Tele-Xenar, tessar?
