What's going on with this lens?
New to large format and just got a Schneider Kreuznach Symmar S 120mm F/5.6 Lens to go along with the 150mm f/5.6 that came with the camera.
Something weird is happening when I try and use the new 120mm - it shows up on the ground glass as tighter than the 150mm. And the bellows have to be almost fully extended to focus at infinity. On top of all that, the image appears far softer than I would expect.
Is this lens not designed for 4x5? The ebay listing said it was. Or is something off with the rear element? Any help would be appreciated.
First image of the ground glass is from the 150mm(looks great), second is from the 120mm.
