Our editorial take on the Schneider-Kreuznach 110mm F/5.6 Super-Symmar XL ASPH MC Copal 1 BT (42 Mount) 5X7 Lens

The Schneider-Kreuznach 110mm f/5.6 Super-Symmar XL ASPH is a premium wide-angle lens designed for large format photography up to 5x7 inch film. It delivers a generous 105-degree field of view at f/22 with a 288mm image circle, offering substantial movements for architectural and landscape work on 4x5 cameras: 83mm vertical and 76mm horizontal shift. The aspheric design maintains edge sharpness across that wide circle, and Schneider's multi-coating handles contrast and flare well in demanding lighting.

This is a specialized tool for large format shooters who need extreme coverage and correction. The compact Copal 1 shutter keeps weight manageable, and the lens handles close-up work to one-third life size without visible quality loss, making it versatile for tabletop and product photography. The 1261 dollar MSRP reflects its position as a high-end optic from a storied manufacturer. This listing is a used bargain-grade unit, so expect visible wear, but the optical performance should remain intact given Schneider's build quality.

Best for: Large format film photographers shooting architecture or landscape who need maximum movements and edge-to-edge sharpness on 4x5 or 5x7 cameras.
What's great

  • Compact Copal 1 shutter keeps weight down for a lens of this coverage
