Schneider- Kreuznach 210mm f5.6 Symmar S MC in Copal 1 shutter for sale. Lens purchased new and I am the original owner; lens kept and stored in pet and smoke free home. Comes with front and rear caps and Heliopan 77mm UV filter (which has been in place since the lens was purchased). This is a multicoated 6 element in 4 group lens that offers a 294mm image circle at f22 and covers 5" X 7". Lens is extremely sharp. Shutter works properly at all shutter speeds as they should. Krikor Maralian, one of the best Rolleiflex repairman and my repairman for quite a number of years wasn't sure if there is a fungal filament in the rear grouping. He indicated if it was it may never become any more than that in the future. I do not think that anything has changed in the last 10 years. Something is there (which may have been there since the lens was manufactured) and maybe a little else and dust. Other than this, the lens is free of scratches, fungus, separation and is rated at least in a 9 condition.

The last 2 images taken with the lens.
First of these 2 images: "Midtown Manhattan Sunset" Photo of Midtown Manhattan taken from Weehawken Park, NJ at sunset in probably November or December of 1988. This is the second photo in the series of 4 historic photos released in November of 2001 and displayed together at Art Shows in response to and with much reluctance to 9/11. Image taken with Linhof Super Technika IV 4" X 5" camera with Schneider f5.6 Symmar S MC 210mm lens on Kodak Ektachrome Plus 100 Professional film. The photo was cropped to 35mm proportions.
Second of these 2 images: "Dawn, Lake McDonald" Photo looking from the shore across Lake McDoanld near the Lodge in Glacier National Park (near Kalispell, Montana) at sunrise in August of 1996. Photo taken with Linhof Technikardan 45S 4" X 5" camera and Schneider f5.6 120mm Super Symmar S MC lens on Fujichrome Velvia 50 film (no filter used).
