Cosmicar Television 150mm f/3.2 C-Mount Lens Quality

[Matthew Hall]

Does anyone out there have any experience or comments regarding this lens? I can get one for under $50.00 and just wondering if it is worth it.

I'm also looking at a Schneider Kreuznach Tele Xenar 150mm f/4 C-mount lens. It's a bit more but is it a better lens?

Thanks.

From my understanding of Cosmicar branded Pentax, Pentacon, Meyer lenses you have a Petzval four-glass system. The Schneider Tele-Xenar is a five-glass design having the Sonnar front group. Quite different but both will give sharp images, the Cosmicar going soft in the corners at f/3.4 to about f/5.6.
