I have the Schneider for my Linhof 679cs. Haven't used it extensively but I have no complaints. Then again, I'm not a big believer in ultimate resolution as the holy grail.
It has always seemed to me that most people go for the Schneider over the Rodenstock, but I'm not sure why that is. They each have slightly different optimal reproduction ratios. I went with the Schneider only because my existing lenses were Schneider.
I know of someone who recently bought and tested both the Rodenstock and Schneider. His comments were passed on to me anonymously by a UK dealer and I'm pretty sure the same person also posted their thoughts on these lenses on either GetDPI or LL:
QUOTE: "We've come to the conclusion that both the Schneider and the Rodenstock are equal at the point where you focus, both in terms of sharpness and colour.
However, where the Rodenstock differs, is that when you stop down, the depth of field leans towards getting the further distance more in focus, whereas the Schneider has the closer distance more in focus.
So no lens is really better than the other, just different, and in my case, I prefer the Rodenstock because of the 'perceived' increase in depth of field towards the far distance, a little bonus for the type of photography I do."
P.S. I was told that he kept the Rodenstock and returned the Schneider.
