From my photographer buddy in Germany, Schneider Kreuznach is well above Zeiss in the glass chain.

till now they are unpriced. Start to market is also not mentioned.
IŽll ask if IŽll go to the PK.
But normally Schneider Kreuznach is in the price range between Zeiss and Leica. Or just have a look at the Schneider medium format lenses. |

They're made in Germany, which should tell you all you need to know about pricing (i.e. more expensive than any Japanese equivalent).

This is about what I would have expected. I purchased three Zeiss ZF lenses for my Nikon D800 and was disappointed and returned them. The 100 macro was super sharp even at f2 but had terrible purple fringing till f4-5.6 but could be cleaned up in LR4. The 25 f2 never got sharp on the edges and corners and the 35 f2 only really got sharp at the edges and corners at f8 but wasn't as sharp in the center as the 25. I wanted lenses that i could shoot at f2 not f8 lenses so I sent them back. What good is a lens you can't shoot at max aperture? You might as well have a max aperture of f8 and save the weight.
I think these are old designs originally for film and adapted by chipping the lenses for auto functions on DSLR's. Schneider has designed these from the ground up specifically for FF digital cameras and should be exceptional performers. They redesigned the Super Angulon XL lenses for large format and they're exceptional. Also they came out with a totally new series of digital lenses for medium format that are the finest. I would guess these will perform along the line of the new asph and apo lenses from Leica. |
