Schneider Xenon 28mm f2,0 line scan lens

[Big Pete]

I am looking for the 6 element Schneider Xenon 1:2/28 line scan lens in an all metal B00 barrel mount, if the price is reasonable. Custom duty, 25% VAT and postage will be added by the Swedish Custom Duty!

If nobody on the forum has one of these lenses for a good price; depending on budget & if you have a c-mount camera, or even open to the possibility of using one, I would suggest buying a new Xenon at wholesale price from a supplier like RMA Electronics or equivalent. The average prices for older Xenon's on eBay over the last year has been outrageous. Wholesale prices for brand new c-mount Xenon's are only marginally higher than used prices by many Chinese eBay sellers. This would guarantee a non-damaged lens that would hold its resale value better.

All of that doesn't apply if you are intending to use a regular DSLR, but if you wait long enough you'll eventually find a nice lens.

Thank you J_Rogers for your answer. C-mount is new to me and I know nothing about it. I use a Sony A7R ii scale down to APS-C as it is a lot quicker in my Imac 27" late 2013. For my purpose APS-C is plenty in RAW. Will a C-mount cover APS-C?
