- Prices from B&H (Feb 1993) Sutterbug

- price AoV IC
-
- Sinar Sinaron-s $797 72 310
- Schneider APO-Symmar $792 72 305
- Rodenstock Sironar-N $625 72 301
- Nikkor Symmetrical $510 72 301

- (AoV = angle of view; IC = image circle)

- All of these lenses are 210mm f5.6 copal, ranging in
- price from $500 to $800 (all unmounted prices). The cost
- difference is presumed to be a quality difference, although
- the two top priced lenses do have a larger image circle.
- The question is, how much of a quality difference
- is there between the Rodenstock and Schneider that
- is worth $160. Similarily, is the Sinar
- better or worse than the Schneider ?

- Thanks - doug
