Hello,
I am considering buying an 8x10 Sinar Norma. The package includes a Schneider Symmar 360mm F5.6 lens. The lens is a barrel lens (correct term?) but there is a Sinar shutter with the camera. I can't find any information on this lens. Can anyone tell me if it is a good lens? Or am I better off finding something more modern? From the serial number, it looks like it was manufactured in the late 1960s. I will be shooting mainly black and white but also some color.
Also, does anyone have experience with Sinar shutters and barrel lenses? The package also includes an APO Nikkor 480mm f9 process lens and I'm wondering if this is a good way to go.
Thanks!
