[pure-silver] Re: (slightly OT): Symmar versus Symmar-S

I doubt you will see much difference between the Symmar and the Symmar-S.
I have done a similar test with 150mm lenses, testing Symmar against Heliar (uncoated), Apo-Lanthar (sc), Zeiss Planar 135mm(sc), Eurynar(uc), Angulon 120 (sc), Angulon 165(sc) and Xenar(sc). The main differences were between coated and uncoated, and the only ones to be identifiably different were the Heliar and Apo-Lanthar. Note that I had (and still have) no multi-coated lenses - aan I no longer have a 150mm Symmar (but I have the rest).

Hi,

since the list is a bit quit lately, I would like to ask the following (slightly OT): is there a noticable (ie in the final print) difference between a Schneider Symmar 210 (single-coated) versus a Schneider Symmar S 210 (multicoated) under the following consitions: 4*5 B&W (FP4), subjest: a landscape on a sunny afternoon, sun in the back, shielding direct sunlight from the lens, printing on 30*40 cm.

I have "collected" 3 210 lenses thusfar: a 210 Symmar S 210 (mainly used during my rare studio sessions, too bulky to carry along a lot in the field), a 210 G-Claron (tiny, f9, but only single coated, and has I discovered too late: has a haze on one of the elements which I cannot clean, affecting image quality probably, but I did not test it good enough, first images were ok but not brilliant) and recently a 210 Symmar, smaller than the SymmarS, faster than the G-Claron.

I will try to test these 3 lenses agianst each other when I find the time (will not be that soon), so I would like to hear about experiences people have with these lenses,

thanks,

Best,

Cor
