Schneider-Kreuznach 270mm f/5.5 Tele-Arton
The Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Arton 270mm f/5.5 is a telephoto-design large format lens with a 5-element, 4-group construction and 37-degree angle of view. Its 178mm image circle covers 4x5in format with moderate movements. At 560g with an M 77 filter thread, the telephoto design significantly shortens the bellows extension needed, making it a practical longer lens for field use on 4x5 cameras.
