Uncommon Schneiders

[JohnBar]

This Tele-Xenar lens was recently auctioned and has a M42 thread mount. But - it looks like a Rollei.

My question is did Schneider make other focal lengths in this style for M42?

Yes, they made a whole range of lenses in both M42 and Rollei QBM. Not particularly common nor very rare. The Xenon 1.8/50 pops up on ebay fairly often.

In M42 I had the Curtagon electric 35 f2.8, but at least the barrel is different from the QBM sibling. It was pretty good but I was loaded of 35mm lenses, so I let it go.

I still have the 135 f3.5 tele xenar electric and the barrel is different too, zebra styled. This one has a special rendering. For me it's a keeper.

I also have the Edixa Xenon 50 1.9 and QBM Xenon 50 f1.8. Both excelent.

There are also 28mm curtagons in M42. I don't know about Super Angulons in M42 mount.

In that style, in m42, i remember have seen 28, 35, 50 and 135. In 50 2,8 and 1,9.

No more than those in my mind.
