To reproduce an analog photograph as a picture on paper requires two optical image processes: One to put the image onto the film and one to enlarge the image onto the paper. The second image reproduction process is no less important for the quality of the final result than the first. When selecting your enlarging lens, you therefore need to be just as critical as when you purchase your high-quality taking lens: take only the very best.

Rodenstock offers a product range which provides an optimal solution for any application: The breadth of the Rodenstock enlarging lens range begins with the 3 elements model for the cost-conscious and ends with sophisticated, apochromatically corrected 8 elements lenses. Many of these lenses prove to be excellent taking lenses also in the industrial sector.

Rodenstock guarantees a lens quality which the photographer and the printer can always rely on and which meets the highest expectations in best possible photographic results. Furthermore, not only the optical performance but also a variety of mechanical features offer practical benefits in the use of the lenses:

• The click-stop diaphragm allows a fast and precise setting of a stop value even when the room is completely dark.
• The pre-set aperture makes it possible to set a working aperture that can be put into operation by simply turning a ring to a stop after the picture has been composed and focused.
• The illuminated f-stop display shows the f-stop set without the room lighting having to be switched on.
• The infinitely variable stop setting allows exact stopping down when analysers with pre-set exposure time are used.

Brilliant reproduction over the whole scale range of conventional enlargers, this lens has become the universal workhorse of both demanding amateurs and professionals in practical use. Furthermore, the models with focal lengths up to 135 mm have proven to be excellent macro lenses for SLR cameras and to be high-resolution taking lenses for CCD cameras in combination with the Rodenstock Modular Focusing Device.

The 6 element 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.

Rodagon-WA has a shorter focal length and a larger angle of view and hence it achieves a 70 % larger projection area than conventional enlarging lenses with standard focal lengths. It is therefore eminently suitable for section enlargements on units with relatively short columns.

The 6 element Rodagon-WA provides the same reproduction performance as the Rodagon lens type. The recommended working aperture is reached by stopping down by 2 stops. This guarantees shorter exposure times with or without less reciprocity failure for large format prints.

The apochromatically corrected high performance lenses of the Rodenstock Apo-Rodagon-N series guarantee perfect results which will satisfy even the highest demands. The correction of these excellent lenses with up to 8 elements was taken to the absolute limits and so ensures the full elimination of irritating visible color fringes on high-contrast strutures. 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 color and black and white enlargements. The Apo-Rodagon-N is therefore the 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.
