Just wondering...if one kept the design (is it Dagor type?), could a 360 mm Schneider XXL be made? With the same angle of view (same design, ~80 deg), this would cover 14x17 nicely and might be as useful to produce for 8x20/12x20/14x17 owners as the current 550 and 1100 for 16x20/20x24 cameras? Are these (550/110) lenses made to order or is there an occasional run? Even the old 360 Symmar Convertible is speced to 500 mm IC (short of that required for 14x17) so a 360 f/6.8 XXL with an IC of 590mm or so would certainly be welcome for the above mentioned formats (but for the price! ), no?
Anyone from Schneider listening?
