Schneider Variogon 14-280

Hi Bert. It is an astounding lens. Great image quality coupled with very close focusing at the 140mm end. The zoom range makes a lot of different images possible without moving location. Kind of a large beast about 12 inches long including hood but handles well on a tripod. My CF model has a built in tripod mount. The C model doesn't, though an accessory tripod mount was made for it they are very hard to find these days. In my opinion it is too much weight on the lens mount by itself to mount the body on the tripod. I have one of the accessory mounts but I use it on my 350mm CF!

Regards, Terry
