Hi everyone,
this is my first post in this forum. During the last year I'd been introducing to the large format photography world. I bought a Scheneider Symmar-s 150mm and a Fujinon w 210mm. But I wanted a longer lens for portraits and landscape photography.
My first option was the Nikkor M 300mm, due to his compactness and lightweight. Also considering other options as G-Claron or Fujinon C.
Last week I was searching online when I found a Scheinder Xenar 300mm f5.6. The seller warmed me that the lens has some issues and it was damage, but the price was around 140 Euros (shipping included) so decided to pick it for that price.
I received the lens yesterday, and shows some issues in the inner element. The rest of the lens is perfect, front and rear element are pristine (no fungus, scratches or other issues) and the shutter works smooth. My concern here is to know what is this that issue because I'd never seen something like that before (I own few lenses with scratches or fungus). I attach a picture here with the problem.
My intention is keep it but I'm still looking for another compact 300mm.
Best regards and thank you in advance.
