Curious on a LF lens quality

Curious if anyone here uses any old Schneider Xenar 150mm on their 4x5? Can anyone
give a good impression of it's qualities? I know it is a four element in three group design
and related to the tessar design.

It does not quite cover 4x5, but you might get away with it if you do not
need to use movements.

I have never used one, but judging from their data, it is probably pretty
good. Their Symmar-S (Plasmat) line is probably better if cost is not a
problem. I do not know if they make those anymore either.

Schneider say it is a Tessar.
