I have two lenses and need to decide which one to keep. One is a Caltar II-N 1:6.8 115mm MC. The other a Schneider Super Angulon 1:8 121mm.
Being only 6mm difference I probably only need one.
Any suggestions?

Both great lenses... and huge. The Caltar is a re-badged Rodenstock Grandagon. You can't go wrong with either one except for manufacturing tolerances. Test them both and keep the one that performs best... assuming you can tell any difference. What other lenses do you have? If money isn't an issue you might consider selling both and picking up a Schneider 110 SS XL... that is if size/weight are of any concern.
