Schneider-Kreuznach 45-100mm f/2.8 Variogon
The Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 45-100mm f/2.8 is a standard zoom lens with a complex 14-element, 11-group design for 35mm cameras. At 720g with an M 67 filter thread, the constant f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range was unusual for its era. The Variogon name denotes Schneider's zoom lens line, and this model covers the most commonly used focal lengths from standard to short telephoto.
