The Schneider-Kreuznach 240mm f/5.6 Symmar is a large-format view camera lens designed for studio and field photography on 8x10 and similar plate sizes. Built around the classic Symmar plasmat design, it was intended primarily for general-purpose work where a moderate telephoto angle of view on large format was required.

At UK auction in late 2025, a copy of the 240mm f/5.6 Symmar sold for £50 at hammer — a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer's retail price. With only a single recorded sale, the data point sets a floor for what a working example is worth today rather than a reliable median, and clean glass in shutter typically sells for more than tired examples in the current market.
