Schneider-Kreuznach 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Xenar

The Schneider-Kreuznach 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Xenar is a long telephoto lens from the German optical maker's Tele-Xenar line, intended for large-format and medium-format use where a compact telephoto design was preferred over a conventional long-focus lens. The telephoto construction keeps the physical length shorter than the focal length, making 360mm manageable on studio and field cameras.

UK auction hammer results for this lens are limited but low: the two recorded sales landed at £62 and £175, giving a median of roughly £118 and showing how much condition and completeness drive price at saleroom level today in 2026. Because these are wholesale hammer figures rather than dealer retail, buyers asking what a 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Xenar is worth should expect clean, shutter-mounted copies to sell for materially more once commission and dealer margin are added.
