bruce watson Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Is there any "advance" information out there about the forthcoming Schneider APO-Symmar-L 150mm/5.6? Specifically, what's it weigh, and how big is it's image circle? What size filters? That sort of thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn_kroeger Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Arne: Do you have similar specs for the 180 Apo-Symmar L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce watson Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Thanks Arne. Interesting that it is bigger in just about all respects than image circle when compared to the Sironar-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arne_croell Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Schneider also claims in this brochure that the Apo-Symmar L can be used from infinity down to 1:3. What I do not have, but would like to see, are the MTF curves of the "L" version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars ake vinberg Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I have MTF curves for the L series, got them directly from Schneider. Email me if you want the PDF's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
