    Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Xenar 150mm f/5.5 is a manual focus telephoto lens for full frame cameras.

    Optical design

    Not the best in low light conditions but the lack of high aperture can be compensated with higher iso Has 18 aperture blades, this lens has a beautiful bokeh.

    Physical characteristics

    With a lens filter diameter of 30.5 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. 80 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag.
