In 2001, Schneider received an Oscar for Technical Achievement for their Super-Cinelux motion picture lenses.

A 9/4 wide-angle lens with a minimum aperture of f/22 An update of the f/4.0 model, with an 8/4 design and slightly increased sharpness.

The first variable-focal-length lens with fixed back focal distance for 35 mm cameras, introduced in 1964.

Many contemporary lenses with long production runs were based on a similar 4 element / 3 group formula (e.g. Leitz Elmar, Voigtländer Skopar, and Kodak Ektar).

PCS stands for "Perspective Control, Scheimpflug", which indicates that this is a tilt and shift version of the Super-Angulon.

Some of the higher-end lenses of the Schneider line are among the most expensive optics available in large format photography.

They are color-corrected reasonably well, but suffer from significant softening of the image close to the edge of the circle of illumination.

For this reason they are prone to "slippage", especially if stored "on end"[clarification needed] in hot climates.

Coverage of 90-210mm at f/11[4] A catalogue from 1934[4] also proclaims the Angulon f/6.8 series as a convertible anastigmat: "...the components of which can be used separately and give two different foci".

When the elements are used separately, their focal lengths are approximately x1.5 for the Rear and x2 for the Front, the narrower aperture results in the need for 2x and 4x longer exposures, respectively.

The Super-Angulons are Biogon designs, making for huge, heavy lenses, but also giving very generous angles of coverage.

Coating technologies improved along the production life of these lenses, and recent Super-Angulons are multicoated.

This is an update of the Super-Angulon lens design, incorporating modern glass and multicoating technologies, and an expanded angle of coverage.

Coverage of the f/6.8-series at "small stop"[4] The Symmar-S is an incremental improvement to the original Symmar design, adding multicoating to the feature set.

This is a redesign of the Apo-Symmar line, using new environmentally friendly glass compositions and incorporating slightly more coverage.

Schneider's inexpensive, classic Xenar asymmetrical, anastigmatic, 4-element, 3-group lens design was introduced in 1919, and is largely unchanged from the original Zeiss Tessar formula.

They can be used on subjects as close as 2 meters without a loss of resolution, and are painted a non-reflective flat grey to reduce thermal absorption and expansion under sunlight or hot studio lights.

These are fast lenses compared to other lens designs of similar focal length, but with somewhat less coverage.

The Fine-Art XXL line is designed for ultra-large format shooting, covering 20×24 inches.

Both lenses are large and heavy, but are designed with exceptional image quality and a huge 900 mm circle of coverage in mind.

The Digitar lenses are designed for use with digital imaging view camera systems, offering focal lengths ideal for the imaging area of digital backs, which are typically smaller than standard sheet film sizes.

The M-Digitars are macro lenses offering 1:1 magnification, designed for use with digital imaging systems.

Coverage listed at 1:1 A wide-angle process lens with 4 elements in 4 groups, optimized for reproduction ratios between 2:1 and 1:2.

The Macro-Symmar HM is a variation of the Symmar design, engineered for 1:1 macro work and flat-field copying.

A process lens with 12 elements in 8 groups and a fixed aperture, optimized for a 1:1 reproduction ratio.

These models have been largely superseded by the Componon-S units, though a few Componon lenses are still manufactured today.

These are 6-element, 4-group apochromatic enlarger lenses, using high-modulation glass elements, designed for critical color rendition and precision industrial applications.

Adding a supplementary −0.9 diopter lens turns the unit into a Betavaron 5,3...17, and changes the magnification range to 5.3–17×, and the maximum aperture to f/5.4-f/5.7.

Lenses of 55 mm focal length and shorter are 7 elements, and 60 and longer are 6, with no cemented surfaces to avoid any possible damage due to heat.
