Anyone here know anything about these? Theres nothing on Schneider's website that I could find. 180mm f/5.6, covers 8x10---it dosen't sound like any graphic arts lens I'm familiar with:confused:

As I recall they were used for microfilming.

I would urge caution if some ebay seller is claiming it covers 8X10. I don't know what it is either but a 180 f5.6 that covered 8X10 would have been discovered and have a big following by now. Probably covers 8X10 at 1:1

It's a microfilm lens, for 105mm wide microfilms.

I have one.. I doubt it will cover 8x10 but I will try it..
Anyway, if I remember correctly it does not have removable cells.. just a barrel assembly. I will check tonight.
