Schneider-Kreuznach — 75mm f/5.6 wide-angle lens for large-format and press cameras
The Super-Angulon 75mm f/5.6 sits at the wide end of Schneider-Kreuznach's Super-Angulon range, a symmetrical wide-angle design used on view and press cameras where a slightly wider field than the common 90mm was needed on 4x5 and rollfilm backs.
Like other Super-Angulon lenses it uses a symmetrical wide-angle construction with a large rear element close to the film plane, generally fitted in a Copal shutter. Exact element count, image circle and filter thread are not confirmed from a verified source here.
As a true wide-angle it produces the deep depth of field and mild rectilinear distortion typical of the family, requiring small apertures to sharpen the corners, and demanding a bag bellows and recessed lensboard on most cameras due to its short back focus.
It is less commonly seen on the UK used market than the 90mm Super-Angulon, so pricing varies with condition. Buyers should check for scratches on the exposed rear element, confirm the shutter cycles evenly, and verify a suitable recessed board is included or available.
