Does Schneider Tele Xenar 360mm f/5.5 cover 5x7 ?

Jeremy Saint-Peyre · Feb 5, 2022

Hello everyone !

I have the opportunity to get a Schneider Tele Xenar 360mm f/5.5 for a reasonable price with a good shutter copal 3 size. It was designed for Linhof camera and the serial number is 14 234 627.

But, i'm not sure if it cover 5x7...

Does anyone know the image circle diameter at f/22 and focus at infinite ?

Or, if not, where can i find that info, or any info that'll allow me to do the math ?

Thanks a lot,

Jérémy

Yes, it will. This lens has an image circle of 240mm. I'll be listing it soon _

Check here for information on Schneider lenses ; http://web.archive.org/web/20160413...m/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/

So not much room for movements , but it'll cover just fine for a lot of uses .

since Schneider took its lens specs off the web, instead of trying to remember the archive.org url that @neilt3 posted, I've been using this site:

I believe he pulled all the data direct from Schneider.

Amazingly this lens was also sold for 35mm SLR cameras well, in a focussing barrel for Praktina, Exakta, M42, etc,=. I have one it's a nice sharp lens foor 5x4 or 7x5.
