eric rose Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Oh I especially want one as I can get my name engraved on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_diekwisch1 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Wow! Schneider already demonstrated their commitment to us by introducing their Super-Symmar series and the new APO tele designs, but this one is even more an act of brotherhood. As a company, they have earned our respect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_cardon Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 So where's the lightweight, F5.6, 90 - 210mm zoom? RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_ilomaki Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 WOW This is fantastic! If I sell all my other photo equipment, perhaps I can afford one. Porsche, Maybach, Hermes M and now I can have a lens that matches the colours of the rest. I must however keep the 8 x 10 Shen Hao that has my name engraved on it so I can use the lens. George Eastman and his 2 dollar Brownie are a long time gone. I remember reading in one AA's books that he had to resist buying a lens because it cost $40. Nice to see anyway.

andre_noble4 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 But will there be any sheet film to use them with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_diekwisch1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 No, people will just be sitting at their computers and discussing the digital vs. film debate... ... But Schneider says it in their introduction: "On the one hand, digital photography is also booming in the area of the specialized camera, on the other, an increasing number of photo enthusiasts for photography worldwide are opting for very large cut-film formats between 8"x10" and 20"x24", in order to achieve a maximum in sharpness, reproduction of detail, and richness of tone values." There we are... if there wasn't a market, they wouldn't be making the lenses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_noble4 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Haven't you heard of the new digital sensor for banquet cameras? It's basically a Sony Trinitron screen that operates in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
