yui_cheng Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 How many versions of this lens (PQ, non-PQ, etc.) have Schneider Optics made for the various Rollei 600x cameras? Where would be a good source for finding the instructions for them? Your assistance is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-louis llech Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 PQ lenses have a maximum shutter speed of 1/500sec, and PQS lenses have a maximum speed of 1/1000sec.<br> PCS means "Perspective Control/Shift", and I don't know a PQS version of this tilt-shift 55mm lens.<br> You can find a <a href="http://www.schneider-kreuznach.com/archiv/pdf/objektive_kompl.pdf">Schneider document about the 55 PCS </a> on the Archive website of Schneider.

jean-louis llech Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I forgot another archive document about the 55 PCS <a href="http://www.schneider-kreuznach.com/archiv/pdf/pc_san_45_55.pdf"> here.</a><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yui_cheng Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks Jean-Louis for the documentation you referenced. One additional question: was there a non-PQ variant of this lens for the pre-6008 era? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCULUS New York Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes, Yui, I have the HFT (non-PQ) version and the manual stop-down to meter is really no problem with this sort of lens. The HFTs are running about $1500+ on ePrey these days. I have no instructions for mine, but really use it mostly for tall building shots. It is remarkable. I also recommend the chimney magnifier viewer if you are going to use it for studio critical depth-of-field work. (FYI, according to one sale I saw on ePrey, Schneider gets about $1500 to rebuild one with a new front element.) I call it my "Horned Monster."

yui_cheng Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Wow! Wonder how it will look if you take the Egg (at certain angles, of course) with a 30mm lens.... Thanks for a great image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCULUS New York Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yui, do you mean the 30mm fisheye? I have lots of 40mm (Rollei) Distagon shots of it from various angles, with evident distortion. I also have, but not posted to my page, shots taken with a Zeiss 16mm fisheye for my Rolleiflex 3003. It is a WILD structure. Are you familair with it?

peter_yardley Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 <p>did you ever find a manual for the Schneider 55mm PCS lens?<br> I just got one, and am damned if I can work out what the less obvious buttons are for.<br> the A|T choice is ?<br> the depth of field preview button - how do you lock it stopped down, besides a piece of tape?!</p> <p>am trying to use it on a Mamiya via a Bronica> Mamiya adapter, which complicates everything, no doubt.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
