Schneider-Kreuznach 150mm f/5.6 APO-Symmar
The Schneider APO-Symmar 150mm f/5.6 is the standard normal lens for 4x5in large format photography, with a 220mm image circle providing adequate movements. At 250g with a 58mm filter thread, it is compact and lightweight. The apochromatic correction delivers excellent sharpness and colour fidelity. This is the workhorse lens of many 4x5in photographers, equivalent to a 43mm standard lens on 35mm format.
