Hi Pete,

I have used a Nikkor 210 for about four years, and have had nothing but
success with it. I also have used Schneider and Rodenstock 210's and have
never noticed a difference (even with the APO Schneider!)...but that is
experiential not scientific.

By all means I would endorse the Nikkor 210 lens (I would have had a 75 f4.5
as well, but they couldn't get it to me in the 16 weeks they promised, so I
went with a Rodenstock...such is life).

Best of luck with your endeavors.
