    3 Lenses (1x240mm + 2x210mm) and 2 Cameras (4x5 + 8x10)

    Hello forum members,

    what I am about.
    I have in my fundus 3 lens:

    - Nikkor W 210/5,6 - Imagecircle 295 - Copal 1
    - Fujinon W 210/5,6 - Imagecircle 352 - Seiko
    - Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar S 240/5,6 - Imagecircle 337 - Copal 3


    The cameras are a Chamonix 4x5 and a Deardorff 8x10

    My wish is a lens for both camera. Only the Fujinon W210 / 5.6 is suitable for this purpose, , the Symmar S is in my opinion too heavy for the Chamonix.

    - The Nikkor is eliminated for the 8x10 due to the image circle, the size/weight, the two lenses are very similar.
    - The size/weight difference between the Fujinon and the Schneider is enormous. The Schneider Kreuznach has 30mm more focal length the Fujinon the slightly larger image circle. For the Chamonix, the Schneider is probably too big.

    The question which arises to me is the following. Do I keep the Fujinon for both formats, or vice versa, is there any significant difference between the imaging performance between the lenses?
    Why such a big thing as the Schneider-Kreuznach and not the Fujinon?

    I would be happy about answers or thoughts.

    Thanks Andreas

    P.S. Sorry for my english
