The Rodenstock 75mm f/4 APO-Rodagon D lens is sold as an enlarger lens @ B&H, but it is NOT an enlarger lens. The Rodenstock 75mm f/4 APO-Rodagon D is a lens for reproduction/duplication with a scale of ONLY 0,8:1,2.!! So useless as an enlarger lens to make analogue photo prints. I almost bought the lens, but spoke with a German company that explained me that the D lens is for Duplicating, not for darkroom use. If you would use the lens as an enlarger lens its for prints with enlargement factor-scale range 0,8-1,2 only, That means: negative size 6x4,5cm = 60x45mm = prints between 48mm x 36mm and 72mm x 54mm !!! Millimeter, not centimeter !
Superb 1:1 Macro Lens, covers 6x6. Perfect for DSLR-scanning and Macro in this magnification range. Obviously, manual focus, needs a bellows or similar. Optimized for 1:1, I consider this a special purpose lens for copying. Use something else for other magnification ranges (closeups, flowers, etc.).
