The Schneider G-Claron 210mm f/9 is a process lens with a 260mm image circle, covering 5x7in format. At 285g with a 49mm filter thread, it is remarkably compact and lightweight. Though designed for close-range reproduction, it performs excellently at landscape distances when stopped down. The symmetrical six-element design delivers flat field performance with minimal distortion, and its light weight makes it a favourite among backpacking large format photographers.
