Schneider 47mm f/5.6 Apo Digitar Digital XL usable for IQ3100?

[Kinya28]

I am looking for a lens to fill between Rodie 32mm HR and 70mm for my Cambo WRS1600/IQ3100.
Rodie 40 or 50HR was my first choice but it is too pricy, at least for now. I am wondering Schneider 47mm f/5.6 Apo Digitar Digital XL instead. I understand Rodie 40 or 50mm HR has better IQ but how good (or bad?) is Schneider 47mm XL? Is it usable for IQ3100? Should I wait till I can afford Rodie 40 or 50mm HR (don't know how soon or ever come) or I can enjoy relatively affordable Schneider 47mm now?

Appreciate your thought for this.

47 mm digitar is not bad lens but on 80 mp back I see clear difference to modern lenses like 40-50 roddies or schneider 43-60 mm digitars. So you can use it on 100 back but it will be not the sharpest one- some post will be needed. You will see clear difference to a 32 mm digaron afcourse. maybe schneder 43 mm would be the right lens for you, it is cheaper then the digarons and absolutly on the same level of sharpness.
