Experiences with Rodenstock APO Sironar digital 5.6 / 150mm?

I've read that this is quite a lovely lens for general close-up and portraiture but haven't seen many sample images. How does it compare to Schneider's digitar alternative? Unfortunately both are quite hard to find for sale.

I used to have both (Rodenstock Digital and Schneider Digitar). On a Phaseone IQ260 back, the Rodenstock is noticable sharper. I sold the Schneider after the test. I know there are a lot of praise to the Digital 120mm/150mm, but I have many copies (newer, older and macro version). None of them are very sharp in comparison to the Rodenstock Digital. All my lenses are Rodenstock except for the 60mm.
