Rodagon

Rodagon lenses are an 6 element 4 group design which guarantees the resolution of the finest details while maintaining a uniformly high contrast from the picture centre to the edges. As the the lens is nearly independent with regard to magnification scale, top quality is ensured from min-prints right up to high enlargements. Furthermore the models with focal lengths up to 135mm 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 focussing device Modular-Focus. The recommended working aperture is reached by stopping down be only 2 stops from open aperture. All Rodagaon lenses are equipped with an illuminated f-stop display, a click-stop diaphragm which can be switched to stepless control for focal lengths up to 135mm, and all lenses are provided with a practical pre-set aperture.

Apo-Rodagon-N

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 colour fringes on high-contrast images. All monochromatic imagng errors have 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 is therefore the amateur's and professional's choice whenever the very highest reproduction quality is required. The optimal working aperture is reached by stopping down by only 1 - 2 stops. The definition and brilliance is better than the Rodagon when used as a taking lens for close up and macro photography as well as when used as a  high resolution taking lens with CCD still and video cameras. All Apo-Rodagon N models have a click-stop diaphragm and an illuminated f-stop display. They also offer a pre-set aperture and allow the click-stop to be disengaged for stepless control.
