I often receive question about this beauty, even though it’s a Schneider lens people are worried concerning its performance compare to the Kern Yvar 100mm… First of all people don’t know that there is quite a big difference between Kern Yvar and Kern Switar. Switar is Zeiss quality, fast, heavy and great lens. Yvar is not, it’s cheaply made, light and slower by one to two stops compare to the Switar. Now back to the Schneider, here is a comparing “chart” so that you can see for yourself that the Schneider is definitely a notch higher then the beloved Kern Yvar 100mm
As you can see the Schneider has a much larger range and let’s talk about how smooth the rings are on the Schneider… You can just change the aperture and m with the tip of your finger when the Kern requires you to grab it
Kern Yvar 100mm
F-stop Range: F3.3 – F22
