schneider lens age?
I searched the forums and can't find it. I'm sure I saw a link to a page that will help you identify age of schneider lens based on serial number.
also what should one expect to pay for a used 75mm SA in newer copal #o?
-
Schneider publish a list of serial numbers & dates I looked at it lasy week.
75mm f8 SA's sell remarkably cheaply, and are superb lenses, I paid about $250 for one in good condition last year from Italy, it was new in its box !!! I was watching another on ebay 2v weeks agothat went for $190. Mines on a 6x17 camear and it really is a stunning lens, I'm contemplating buying another for 5x4 use as coverage is much better tan the 65mm SA I currently use.

I found the page. it appears it is from 1970. any ideas what its worth? and is it possible that its multi coated?

Mine's a 1977 f8 version, while it doesn't say Multi Coated the coating is excellent and works well, I can shoot into the sun with no flare or drop in contrast while a 3 year old35mm SLR lens flared badly.
My older SA's a 65mm, 90mm & 165mm are older but also good and flare free, although not a heavily coated.

it also Has sinar engraved in green around the inner ring that indentifies the lens. I've never seen this. does it mean anything significant?
-
Sinar and Linhof tested & selected which lenses they wanted to buy and sell with their cameras, sometimes that adds a little to a lenses value, slightly better quality control.

is 540.00 too much for this lens?
-
540 what ? £'s $'s ?
$540 sounds about right and a very good price, personally I wouldn't pay £540 / $1080 for an f5.6 version.
