Phase One IQ4 + Schneider Kreuznach LS Lenses: Initial Evaluations Done

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.
