    WTB: Schneider Apo-Artar 240mm F/9.0 & 270mm F/9.0 in a shutter

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a travel-friendly long-ish lens for 4x5. All of my lenses are Schneider's, so to satisfy my latent OCD I would like to add one of the Apo-Artars to my set. I have been also considering G-Clarons, but these have way bigger image circle than I need, so I'd rather...

    WTB: Schneider Kreuznach Tele-Arton-S 250mm/5.6

    Looking for the latest version of the 250mm Schneider tele lens for large format view cameras. This lens in the Schneider's brochure is called 'apo tele xenar' but I don't think it was ever manufactured under that name - so far I have only seen it with the label Tele-Arton-S. The latest version...

    WTB: Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad V

    Maybe. Personally I don't feel like spending more than 2k on it. 100/3.5 CFi is higher on my want to buy list.

    Hasselblad Carl Zeiss V lenses on Pentax 645Z: Disregard: OMIT

    Richard didn't mention 180/4 sonnar. This one is often said to be one of the very best :) Btw maybe take a look at MTF charts on hasselbladhistorical website: https://hasselbladhistorical.eu/HW/HWLds.aspx

    WTB: Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad V

    150/2.8 is an F-type lens, with no leaf shutter built in. It's a very good lens, but I have not yet tried it on digital.

    Hasselblad Carl Zeiss V lenses on Pentax 645Z: Disregard: OMIT

    You can't use the leaf shutter within hasselblad lens, and you also need to manually stop down the aperture. Flash triggering should work normally, synchronized with the camera's shutter, but without Pentax TTL (although I'm pretty sure Pocket wizard doesn't support it anyway).

    WTB: Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad V

    Bump for the thread with an update - recently acquired Sonnar 150/2.8, so no longer looking for that one. Interested the most in 100/3.5, 110/2, 350/4 and the PC-Mutar shift 1.4 teleconverter.

    WTB: Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad V

    Bump for the thread. The list is up to date, except I'm no longer looking for 120/4 macro, and will consider 110/2 FE if it's reasonably priced (as a point of reference - one went on eBay not long ago for around 2200 Euro).
