…and it is compact!
We received our first demo version of the Schneider Kreuznach LS 150mm f/3.5 lens today! Check out the photo above of a size comparison between the Schneider 110LS f/2.8, the Schneider 150LS f/3.5, Phase One/Mamiya 150D f/2.8, and the Hasselblad 150mm f/3.2. The 150LS is barely bigger than the 110LS.
Not only is the Schneider 150LS compact, but it is also lightest of the group weighting in at 1.43 lbs (652g). The 110LS weights 1.50 lbs (700g), the 150D is 1.7 lbs (780g), while the Hasselblad 150mm is 2.14 lbs (970g).
Next week, we’ll be testing the optical qualities and reporting. But it is encouraging to see out of the box the compact size of this Schneider 150mm LS telephoto lens compared to the Phase One/Mamiya 150mm and even the Hasselblad HC Leaf Shutter 150mm.
