FS: 210mm Schneider Apo Symmar L, f5.6

General Comments: When you need to reach out across a lake to a row of trees, shoot a hillside of aspens, employ a selective focus technique, this is an ideal lens. It is beautifully sharp within the depth of field range, but it being a 210mm, that dof range is small, especially on subjects relatively close. However I found the lens to be a very useful tool to get images that were out of the ordinary for most technical camera users.

Image Circle: 320 mm

Filter Thread Size: 77 mm

Focal Length Equivalent on 35mm DSLR: 135 mm

Equipment Condition: There are no scratches anywhere on the lens barrel and the lens elements are immaculate. Note: the rear lens cap has partially split and is held together with electrical tape.

*Functional shift capability from center: 25 mm

*The distance the camera back can be moved laterally across the image circle before image degradation becomes unusable.

Price: $2,000

Does it require an extension box @ the back?

Any idea how this lens compares with APO Digitar version?

Thanks,

This is moderate wide angle on 8x10. :) Not obvious from the posting for what camera platform this is intended - perhaps clarify?
