Product Description
Linhof Technika branded Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar 1:5,6/150mm 1:12 265 lens in a Linhof branded, chrome-faced Compur shutter.
Originally introduced by Schneider Optics in 1920, the Symmar is a 6-element, 4-group, symmetrical lens design with a 70° angle of coverage. Constructed, like most large format lenses, with two cells fit into the front and back ends of a leaf shutter, Symmar lenses are “convertible”. One can create a lens with a substantially longer focal length by removing the front or rear cell and using only half the lens. This was especially useful for portrait photography, as the resulting longer focal length lens produced a softer image.
