    Schneider Symmar APO 360mm 6.8

    Schneider Symmar APO 360mm 6.8

    I can pick this lens up for $500 in almost new cond.., has anyone used this lens on 11x14?

    I'm now shooting 4x5, but have finished the 11x14, thinking of useing it on both.
    Thanks

    It is a very nice lens. I dont now if it covers 11x14.

    It should cover 11x14 nicely, and also be useful for 4x5 if you have enough bellows on your 4x5. I use the 360mm focal length a lot in my studio for 4x5 transparencies of products.

    I believe all of the major brand 360mm Plasmat design lenses cover 11x14.

    The data is available here, Schneider recommend 240mmx300mm format, or 10"x12" which is short of 11"x14". Image circle is 491mm, it's also listed as only 70 degree all the smaller Apo Symmar lenses are 72 degree.

    So it probably covers but with very little room for movements.

    I've posted the link to Scneiders technical data in your other post. This one is a duplicate.
