Description

Rodenstock Rodagon 135mm f5.6 Enlarging M39 Screw Lens, Imperfect (Ser. 9648081)
A high-quality, well-respected six-element enlarging lens for 4×5 format enlargers. Aperture range from f5.6 through f32.
This version is a “mid-version” with illuminated aperture scale; click or smooth-switchable aperture setting ring; and M39 screw mount to fit most enlargers.
Overall the lens is in good condition. However, there is evenly distributed, light fungus on the front side of the second of third element from the front of the lens. The fungus manifests itself as slightly reduced contrast on enlargements, which can be compensated easily by the filter used.
The lens is offered at a low price to reflect its imperfections.
