I currently use a Rodenstock 40HR with IQ3100 on my Cambo. I am considering adding a longer focal length. Any experiences/comments of the Schneider 72L APO Digitar with the 3100? Thanks.

Yeah I have one for my Cambo WRS5000 and use it with an IQ260, it's a great lens - tiny, sharp and also cheap - I sent mine off to Cambo to have the tilt and swing movements added which isn't cheap, but worth it in my opinion.

If you want a new one let me know - I know someone who has some of the last remaining Schneider lenses in stock from before they stopped making them, she might still have one leftover .

Fabulous lens..... sharp and light as noted above. I got one of the last new ones from Linhof and am very pleased. Its just a little on the short side which could make it your 'very slightly wide normal' lens. Without a doubt one of the finest lenses I own.

Great lens. Small, light, and virtually distortion free without correction. We are still having new batches made for our DT RCam and iXG cameras for art reproduction so we have a lot of experience with them for 100mp sensors. If your intention is to use them for landscape/architecture with modest movement and an aperture like f/8-f/11 then I suspect you'll be very happy.

One of my all time favourite lenses. Lots to like! Small, light, lack of distortion, good at all distances (including extreme closups), flare resistant and great general rendering. On a Credo 60 back 12mm shift is perfect.

I can see myself using this as a travel-around-the-world single lens setup. (Alpa TC + Helvetar 75 + Credo 60)
