121mm f/8 — — 8 £145 – £314

{"overview":"The Schneider-Kreuznach 121mm f\/8 Super-Angulon is a wide-angle large format lens designed for view and field cameras, where its wide image circle suits architectural and landscape work on 5x4 and similar formats. As part of the long-running Super-Angulon line, it is typically supplied in a leaf shutter and is intended for use on cameras with movements.","market_narrative":"Auction data for this reference is thin: a single 2023 UK saleroom result hammered at £150, so that figure currently anchors what a 121mm f\/8 Super-Angulon is worth at wholesale level. With only one hammer price on file, the going value in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and clean examples in working shutters can sell for more than rough copies when they appear.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, and check the cemented groups for early signs of separation around the edges. Work the leaf shutter at every speed listening for sticky slow speeds, and look for oil migration onto the aperture blades, which is a common fault on older large format shutters; focus and aperture rings should move smoothly without grinding.","specs":"Key documented specifications are limited to a 121mm focal length and an f\/8 maximum aperture in the Super-Angulon wide-angle line; further details such as element count and image circle are not provided in the source data.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Schneider-Kreuznach 121mm f\/8 Super-Angulon worth today?","a":"Based on the single UK auction record on file, one example sold for £150 at hammer in 2023, which is the only confirmed price point for this lens."},{"q":"How much does a 121mm f\/8 Super-Angulon sell for at auction?","a":"The recorded hammer price is £150, though with just one sale logged the true market value and price range are not well established."},{"q":"Is the 121mm f\/8 Super-Angulon a wide-angle lens?","a":"Yes, the Super-Angulon series is Schneider-Kreuznach's wide-angle line for large format cameras, and a 121mm focal length sits in the wide-angle range on 5x4."},{"q":"What should I check before buying one?","a":"Prioritise shutter accuracy, clean glass free of fungus, haze and separation, and dry aperture blades, as these faults most affect both usability and resale value."}],"confidence":30,"reasoning":"Only one sales record and no SPECS, variants or facts were provided, so confidence is capped low per the rules."}

210mm f/8 — — 1 £750 – £750
21mm f/3.4 — — 5 £900 – £60,000

47mm f/5.6 XL — — 3 £225 – £400

{"overview":"The Schneider-Kreuznach 47mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon is an ultra-wide-angle lens from the German maker's Super-Angulon line, designed for large-format and technical-camera use where extreme coverage at a short focal length is required. At 47mm it sits among the widest options available for the format, and was typically fitted to view cameras and panoramic technical bodies.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this lens have sat in a fairly narrow band: the two sales on record closed at £225 in July 2023 and £280 in November 2025, giving a median around £250 at saleroom level. As of today in 2026, a clean, clear-glass example in a working shutter is what a buyer is paying for, and that is what the £280 result reflects; tired copies with haze or shutter faults tend to sell for less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the glass carefully for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as these ultra-wide elements are expensive to replace and haze is common on lenses of this age. Check the shutter fires accurately at all speeds, look for oil on the aperture blades, confirm the focus and aperture rings move smoothly without stiffness, and look for any signs of element separation or coating scratches that would affect value.","specs":"Key specifications from the available data: Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon, 47mm focal length, f\/5.6 maximum aperture.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Schneider-Kreuznach 47mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon worth today?","a":"Based on UK auction hammer results, recent examples have sold in the £225 to £280 range, with the most recent sale in late 2025 reaching £280."},{"q":"How much does a 47mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon sell for at auction?","a":"Recent UK hammer prices show the lens selling for £225 to £280, so a clean working copy currently fetches around the upper end of that range."},{"q":"Is the price going up or down?","a":"The limited sales data shows the 2025 result at £280 ahead of the 2023 result at £225, suggesting firm demand, though with only two sales on record the trend should be treated cautiously."},{"q":"What should I check before buying one?","a":"Prioritise clear glass free of fungus and haze, a shutter that fires accurately at all speeds, clean dry aperture blades, and smooth focus movement — these factors drive the gap between low and high auction results."}],"confidence":40,"reasoning":"Only two sales records and no SPECS or variant data provided, so confidence is capped below 50 per the rules."}

65mm f/5.6 — — 3 £125 – £600

{"overview":"The Schneider-Kreuznach 65mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon is a wide-angle large-format lens designed for view and technical cameras, typically fitted in a leaf shutter for use on 4x5-compatible systems. Its short focal length and wide coverage made it a standard choice for architectural and interior work where a pronounced wide field of view was required.","market_narrative":"At UK auction, hammer prices for the 65mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon have ranged from £300 to £600, with a midpoint around £450 based on the limited sales on record. A 2025 saleroom result of £300 suggests current wholesale value sits at the lower end, while an older 2009 sale reached £600 — so what a clean example is worth today in 2026 depends heavily on shutter condition and glass clarity, and retail asking prices from dealers typically sit above these auction-hammer levels.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups for fungus, haze and coating scratches, as early Super-Angulons on the used market often show cleaning marks. Check the leaf shutter fires accurately at all speeds and that the aperture blades are dry and snappy with no oil migration, and confirm the helicoid or lens board mounting is secure with no signs of element separation.","specs":"Key specifications from the provided data: 65mm focal length, maximum aperture f\/5.6, Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon wide-angle design for large-format use.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Schneider 65mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon worth today?","a":"Recent UK auction hammer prices place the value between £300 and £600, with the most recent 2025 sale at £300 indicating current wholesale value around that level."},{"q":"How much does a 65mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon sell for at auction?","a":"It sells for roughly £300 to £600 in the UK auction market, depending on shutter condition, glass clarity and completeness."},{"q":"What should I check before buying one?","a":"Focus on shutter accuracy, aperture blades being free of oil, and the glass being free of fungus, haze or heavy coating marks, as these are the main factors affecting price."}],"confidence":40,"reasoning":"Only two sales records are available and no SPECS or variant data were provided, so confidence is limited per rule 8."}
65mm f/8 — — 2 £100 – £112

75mm f/5.6 — — 1 £100 – £100
75mm f/8 — — 0 —
90mm f/5.6 XL — — 5 £162 – £438

{"overview":"The Schneider-Kreuznach 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon is a wide-angle large-format lens designed for view and technical cameras, offering the generous image circle and movements needed for 4x5 architectural and landscape work. It sits in Schneider's long-running Super-Angulon line, a wide-field design produced across several decades for professional field use.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon have ranged from £162 to £225, giving a midpoint around £193 based on the two recorded saleroom results. As of 2026, this sits firmly in the working-user bracket rather than the collector tier, and condition — particularly clean glass and a functional shutter — is what separates a lens that sells for the lower end from one that reaches the upper figure.","buying_guide":"Inspect the glass carefully for fungus, haze and internal cleaning marks, as wide-angle elements show defects readily when stopped down. Check for oil on the shutter blades and aperture, sticky or sluggish shutter speeds at both ends of the range, any signs of edge separation in the cemented groups, and that the focusing helicoid on the mounted barrel turns smoothly without grit. Confirm the lens is complete with its retaining ring and that the rear cell threads are undamaged before committing at the value on offer.","specs":"Schneider-Kreuznach 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon, a wide-angle large-format lens typically supplied in a leaf shutter for view-camera use.","faq":[{"q":"How much does a Schneider 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon sell for at UK auction?","a":"Recorded hammer prices sit between £162 and £225, with a median around £193 from the two sales on file."},{"q":"What is a 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon worth today?","a":"As a working 4x5 wide-angle, its price at saleroom level in 2026 is led by condition of the glass and shutter; clean, fully functional copies have reached £225, while tired examples sell for closer to £162."},{"q":"Is the 90mm f\/5.6 Super-Angulon a good value wide-angle for 4x5?","a":"At current auction levels it is one of the more accessible routes into a professional-grade 90mm for large format, provided the shutter is accurate and the elements are free from haze and separation."}],"confidence":45,"reasoning":"Only two sales records and no SPECS or variant data were provided, so claims are limited to general category knowledge and the two hammer prices."}
