This one's a test shot with a new lens for me - a relatively late model Schneider Apo Symmar MC 150mm F/5.6 on my F-Universalis/Fuji GFX 100S. It was shot at F/11 with +/- 12.5mm of front shift, flat stitched in LR, and exported to PS for sharpening and adjustment of tonal range. I find this a great location for testing lenses, with lots of fine detail such as rigging, and the sea air reduces down the amount of heat shimmer, which affects shooting at our house which is more inland. And this lens certainly delivers the goods for me - no evidence of flare, and excellent colour balance and sharpness, and quite light now that I've transferred it into an SK B-0 aperture only shutter.

Looks amazing John!

This was my first large format lens back in the day. When I sold it a decade ago, I never imagined that it could have a productive new life on a digital sensor.

Nearly 50 years ago, I had a Symmar 150 convertible that I used on a Linhoff Super Technika - a great lens, although I neve tried the long option. THis lens has the same labelling on it, but it looks a far cry from my first one.
