RODENSTOCK 50mm f/2.8 Rodagon Enlarging Lens

• Rodagon 50mm f/2,8
• Recommended scale range: 2× - 15×
• Maximum film format: 24x36mm

The Rodagon, with its brilliant image across the entire scale range of common enlargers, has become a universal workhorse for both demanding amateurs and professionals in the laboratory. It meets the high demands of professional reprography and is therefore often used in focal lengths up to 135 mm in combination with the Modular-Focus helical mount and corresponding camera adapters as a high-resolution recording lens for CCD cameras and as an excellent macro lens for SLR cameras. It is usually clearly superior to conventional macro lenses in terms of resolution and contrast.

The 6 elements design guarantees the resolution of the finest details while maintaining a uniformly high contrast from the picture center to the edges. As the lens is nearly independent with regard to magnification scale, top quality is ensured from mini-prints right up to high enlargements. The recommended working aperture is reached by stopping down by only 2 stops from open aperture.
Since the lens is almost independent in terms of image scale, the highest quality is guaranteed from mini-prints to high magnifications. The recommended working aperture is achieved by stopping down by only 2 f-stops with the aperture open.
