...not only a collector lens (only 27ex made) but also a very interesting lens, fast, sharp and very suitable for B&W and (also) modern color films.

About it, Andre Oldani (Alpa team) had said :
"Some ALPA customers were seeking for a lens that brings back the look of the earlier B&W lenses. ALPA was looking for single coated lenses that are still available and found a batch of them at Linhof, the Technikar 3.5/95 mm (a Tessar type*). The lenses go to Schneider where they get completely cleaned, checked and only the best get used for the ALPA Technikar. As Compur shutters do not exist anymore for this type of lens only the Copal Press fits. The lens covers officially 6x7 but 6x8 and even 6x9 (with soft corners) can be rechead. It is a unique and special purpose lens with an own character"

*The TechniKAR 3.5/95 that was used in the Linhof 220 and for the ALPA is a Tessar type (4 lenses in 3 groups)
