fastdap@mac.com Posted January 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone have any info on or experience with the Schneider Xenon? Not the leica SM variant or the THC version, but the actual SM rangefinder coupled Schneider version? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Hi fastdap@mac.com, Take a look here Schneider Xenon 50mm f1.5?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted January 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2008 Are you sure that Schneider did offer the lens in LTM mount ? I never saw one, and the agreement with Leitz (with the Taylor Hobson patents) I think made not strange that Schneider by itself wouldn't have marketed this kind of lens with Leitz RF coupling.

luigi bertolotti Posted January 4, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 4, 2008 YUP! Interesting item, surely... I admit I haven't access to decent docs on Schneider lenses... they produced thousands in the years... if someone has links about I will appreciate... I know also the Schneider in mid '60 made the 180 2,8 for Visoflex that Leitz put for a short time in their US price list (James Lager gave this info some years ago). I'm intrigued to find other infos on this very respectable vendor. Thanks for your pictures, Mark, me too will download & keep it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has a 50mm F2.0 Xenon made for Leica SM. Just thought I'd share for those few who are interested. mark Photo Arsenal just type "Schneider" in the keyword field at the top of the page.
