Rodenstock Rodagon 50mm f/4 enlarger lens

            An exiting new kind of lens (for me) landed in my still expanding collection : the Rodenstock Rodagon 50mm f/4 enlarger lens is going to be put in use as a taking lens for me. More specifically as a macro lens. I hope for good resolution from this lens.

This is a fixed focus lens on itself, the focusing part was build in the enlarger itself. The lens has an aperture ranging from f/4 to f/16.

It has an M39 lens mount. With a regular M39 to M42 adapter it can be mounted on my M42 to Sony E adapter helicoid adapter. The helicoid helps me getting a focusable lens. I have no idea what magnification I can achieve with the helicoid alone but it seems that I can reach infinity focus with it. Not that I would use this lens in such a way, enlarger lenses are optimised to work at close distance.

Stay tuned for some sample photos !
