I just bought a second hand Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Xenar 240mm/5.5 lens to use on my Arca-swiss F-line 4x5 camera. I can find few information about this lens in the web, So I wonder if this lens is suitable for landscape by 4x5 camera.

The Schneider archives list it for 9x12, so it should work. They also list the 270 for 9x12 which should work better.

I have this lens and use it on my Tachihara with no problems. The glass is 1949 vintage in a dial set shutter. I've played with movements when I first got in and didn't seem to be able to run out of movements for what I tried. It should work fine if it's the same as I have.
