Re: No love for the 90mm f5.6 Schneider Apo-Digitar?
If you mean the Schneider Apo Digitar 90/4.5 N, then I have shot with that for an extended period of time. Including the version PC-TS 90/4.5 which I believe is the same lens.
Great lenses! the PC-TS didn't feel as solid as I would have liked, it wiggled from end to end, but no complaints with results. Pinsharp and excellent rendering. Can't remember max movements now but I used mine with Alpa FPS and Credo 60.
The tech 90 had the same feel and rendering as my 72 (Helvetar 75).

I sold the 72mm Schneider to upgrade to the Schneider 90...IMHO the 90 is much sharper without the red cast, I always seemed to get on my copy of the 72mm
The image circle on the 90 is very generous.

If you can find one, the 90/4.5 N is a worthy alternative to the much more expensive Rodenstock 90 HR-SW. And if you happen to be using a Cambo Actus, let's just say I find the very affordable Cambo Actar 90 to closely resemble the 90/4.5 Digitar N. Good performance close up as well, which makes it even more ideal for an Actus setup.

At one point I owned all 3 of the 90mm tech lens options, and can say that the Schneider 90mm is really excellent. I sold the blue ring Roddy 90, as that is easily the worst, the yellow ring HRSW is by popular opinion the finest lens available for MF today, but the SK option is very close. It simply doesn't have such a big image circle, though it is 2/3 stop faster, and much, much lighter!
I kept mine, along with the HRSW. Use both.
good luck
