Rodenstock Rodagon 105mm f/5.6
| High quality 6 element lens for professional enlarging. Razor sharp and contrasty lens, very well color-corrected, works outstandingly well as bellows lens for both field and studio macro work, matching the quality of many macro lenses.
Modern version with iluminated f/stops. Filter thread is 40.5mm, mounting thread is standard M39 (Leica) thread, I will send it with a M39 - M42 adapter ring, so it can be easily mounted on any camera/tubes/bellows via aditional adapter to M42. Up to 1.5X there is no need to reverse this lens, since there is virtually no difference in image quality.
This lens works also very well as short "tube lens" for extreme macro/micro photography with infinity corrected microscope objectives on camera, I have used it with Mitutoyo and Nikon objectives with great result.

Condition
In good cosmetic condition, with some signs of wear as shown, minor scratches on the barrel, nothing major. Aperture is working perfectly in both modes, clickless and with clicks.
Optically, there are no fungus, haze or separation. A few tiny dust partices visible inside. There are some coating marks and micro-scratches on both front and rear element. In my experience and tests it does not noticeably impact image quality. Comparing it to a near-mint unit, I can't see much of a difference, if any. Anyway the flaws are reflected in the price. Please look carefully at the pictures and buy accordingly though.
