I’m exhausted having worked about 14 hours each day over the weekend, but I’m glad I’ve laid out the general performance expectations of these lenses in diglloyd Medium Format:

• Schneider Kreuznach LS 35mm f/3.5
• Schneider Kreuznach LS 40-80mm f/4-5.6
• Schneider Kreuznach LS 80mm f/2.8
• Schneider Kreuznach LS 150mm f/2.8 IF
• Schneider Kreuznach LS 240mm f/4.5 IF

I would like to cover 45mm, 55mm, 110mm, 120mm lenses also, but they are not available to me at this time.

Having done this work, it should be a valuable reference for anyone considering the Schneider Kreuznach LS blue-line lenses for the Phase One XF camera system.

O course, a big incentive for me personally was nailing down what to expect prior to beginning field shooting in a few days.
