Rodenstock know that only a first class enlarging lens guarantees developing success. Their German engineers combine the latest in computer design with superior mechanical craftsmanship. No need to look at technical curves - you can see the Rodenstock difference in every picture. They will repay you with higher resolution, colour fidelity, outstanding field flatness, contrast, and uniform illumination.

The lens type Rodagon with brilliant reproduction over the whole scale range of conventional enlargers, has become the universal workhorse of both demanding amateurs and professionals in practical use.

The 6 element design guarantees the resolution of the finest details while maintaining a uniformly high contrast from the picture centre to the edges. As the lens is nearly independent with regard to 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.

The Rodagon already meets the high demands of processing photography. A number of photographers use the models with shorter focal lengths in conjunction with suitable adaptors together with reflex camers for high quality photos in extrme close-ups.

Benjamin H. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this on my 4x5 setup for a few weeks now, and the sharpness at wider apertures is honestly a step above my old lens. The build feels solid and precise, and the threads are smooth.

Emily Z. ★★★★★

The precision of the German engineering is obvious when I see the crisp detail in my prints at f8. It’s noticeably sharper than my old lens, even wide open.

David ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 80mm f4 for my darkroom work and the mechanical build feels incredibly precise—the focus ring glides smoothly without any slack. It’s made a noticeable difference in my 6x7 negatives, delivering consistent crispness edge to edge. Absolutely no regrets on this purchase.
