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 apochromatically corrected high-performance lenses of the Apo-Rodagon series guarantees perfect results which will satisfy the highest demands.

The correction up to 6 element lenses was taken to the absolute limits and so ensures the full elimination of irritating visible colour fringes on high-contrast borders. All monochromatic imaging errors have also been greatly reduced to give this lens type its unsurpassed image reproduction performance.

The advantages are clearly visible in both colour and black and white enlargements. The Apo-Rodagon-N is therefore the amateur's and professional's first choice whenever the very highest reproduction quality is required.

The optimal working aperture is reached by stopping down by only 1 to 2 stops.

Specification:

  • Minimum aperture: f/16
  • Illuminated aperture selection
  • Stepless aperture setting

Christopher W. ★★★★★

Finally got my darkroom dialed in, and the APO correction on this 50mm makes a real difference—the grain is practically invisible at f11. Tack sharp across the whole 6x7 negative, even in the corners.

Benjamin X. ★★★★★

Printed a set of 16x20s last night and the edge-to-edge sharpness at f/5.6 is genuinely stunning, the German build quality is obvious the moment you handle it.

Abigail ★★★★★

The APO correction really makes a difference—edges are tack sharp even at f2.8. I’ve swapped this onto my enlarger and the grain on my 35mm negatives snaps into focus like nothing I’ve used before.
