Help needed on Schneider Tele-Xenar 5,5 270mm

[Antonio Banfi]

Hello folks,
I was checking my lenses and filters. Now I have left away (in my house in Greece) a Schneider Tele-Xenar 5,5 270mm and I cannot find any specs for this lens. I need to know just the filter thread. Someone can help? Thank you very much.

Do you, perhaps, mean the 270mm f/5.5 tele-Arton? according to this old Schneider optics "vintage lens data" web page, the filter thread is: M 77 X 0.75

Here you have it. It is a Technika 6x9 lens.

I have a Tele-Xenar 5,5/270 coated (red triangle, single-coated), made in 1951. It's 480g mounted in a Technika board. Filter size is 58mm. FFD is 162mm (not a typo). Mine is in a Compur #2 dial-set shutter, with a min aperture of f/57. Image circles at infinity (full pupil) are: f/5.5-f/16= vignettes; f/16= 154mm; f/22= 170mm; f/32= 184mm; f/45= 191mm; f/57= 194mm. Full cut-off of pupil occurs at 215mm -- it's a 4x5 lens with very little movements. Sharp all across the image area.
