From my personal collection, Schneider APO Tele Xenar Compact 350mm f11 Copal 1

This lens covers 8x10. Lightweight lens. Great for field work.

Near mint condition with the original box. This lens is one of the last lenses Schneider made for large format photography. Very hard to find this lens these days. Probably very small numbers were made. Schneider released this lens in 2008.

No obvious scratch or cleaning mark on lens elements to my eye.

Multicoating is in excellent condition and has no hairline.

No haze. No separation as this lens design is symmetrical dyalite. Very high resolution and contrast. The name “Tele” is misleading as this lens isn’t designed telephoto optically. Hence, you need the normal back focus 324mm at infinity. Minor internal dust. 

Barrel shows no wear as shown in the pictures. Copal 1 shutter has minor scuffs on the side body and works flawlessly with 1/3 stop clicks customized for late Schneider samples.

UV filter is included.
