I'm not into LF, but they do look great!

Are you going to shoot film with them or mount them on digital?

Thanks !!!

The focal lengths are 100, 135 & 150 just perfect for 35mm full frame. I know of a 2.8/80 in the same style but I got outbid in the last second for that one, there may be other focal lengths but I have yet to see them. These three took me two years to collect.

The are like mint and the build quality is the best, the image quality is supreme and I will post some photos when I free up some time.

I have other LF Xenars but they are like enlarger lens style and not as handsome. LF Xenars are great you should consider having at least one in your bag.

Mounting is very simple:
M39-M42 step ring, M42 helicoid and some M42 extension tubes and is very simple, no tools required.
I like the Schacht extension tubes because they are also zebra style, and complement the look.

One seller told me they were used a lot in fashion photography for magazines like Vogue etc., so they are like perfection to my eyes.
