Comments about Schneider 150mm f/5.6 Apo-Symmar L Lens:
I am a student who uses large format 90% of the time. I am very happy with the sharpness and contrast of this lens. I use it with a Graflex Crown Graphic and although the lens is compact, the camera cannot close with this lens attached. That is not a problem with the lens, but that may be helpful info to someone out there.
A big plus for me is having a shutter with the notch settings for aperture stops. So you are able to consistently return to the same aperture setting.
Lens caps are very tight, no chance of them falling off.
