I have to agree that the 210mm examples are at least better than the
appalling 120mm Angulons. But Schneider's quality control left a *lot*
to be desired at the time when these lenses were made. Be careful, if
buying an Angulon (not a Super Angulon) that the actual lens *you* get
is a "stellar performer optically", not just some other Angulon you have
seen in someone else's camera bag.

As I recall, in years past there was a belief that the Linhof folks had
the
pick of the Schneider lenses, especially the Angulons. Such lenses bear
the
Linhof name inscribed on them.

I had a Linhof-branded 90mm Angulon which was a total dog, FWIW.

here's a couple of discussions on Linhof branded Schneider lenses
