Xenar, Schneider version of a Zeiss Tessar.

Linhof selected the best samples.


Outstanding finish and coating quality.

Looks mint with no bubbles, cleaning traces, no traces or oxidation.


Wide open it should be slightly soft with a narrow depth of field, ideal for portraiture.

Stopped down a couple stops it will be nice and sharp.

Covers 4x5 and 5x7 formats.

I like the Compound shutter the lens is mounted in as it is very quiet and the example I offer includes the PC flash sync socket for strobe lights.
