Schneider is quite big in MF lenses, and they are also engaged in lenses optimised for digital capture. I think (could be wrong) that the new MF Rollei uses Schneider optics. 35mm lenses... well, everybody is into plastic stuff assembled in Vietnam (or wherever labor costs are minimal today). Not something Schneider fits well into. Hmm... I just love the classical lenses with aluminium & brass construction. The good old Takumars & M lenses I just like better. Or my Zeiss lenses for the Hasselblad.
