The lens type Rodagon, with brilliant reproduction over the whole scale range of conventional enlargers, has become the universal workhorse of both demanding amateurs and professionals in practical use.

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 scale, top quality is ensured from mini-prints right up to high enlargements.

All Rodagon lenses are equipped with click-stop diaphragms which can be disabled for focal lengths from 28 mm to 135 mm and all lenses are provided with a pre-set aperture.

The excellent imaging quality of the Rodagon enlarging lenses is also utilized for close-up and macro shots. Here sharper results can be obtained than with macro lenses. As a focussing aid for shots with 35 mm, video or film cameras, Rodenstock offers the "Modular-Focus" with 25 mm of extension and straight-line movement.

The Apo-Componon HM. lens is apochromatically corrected. It also meets all the demands and high-quality standards of professional and amateur photographers with respect to the image performance of their enlargements. Further, the Apo-Componon meets the strict requirements necessary to be used by engineers in the industrial world. Resolving power, contrast, color correction, and multi-coating guarantee great image quality even under extreme conditions.

Schneider manufactures its optics with a high degree of precision, ensuring the lasting quality of the Apo-Componon HM. The design has been adjusted to the special requirements of high-quality enlarging techniques. For 40mm, 45mm, 60mm, and 90mm focal lengths it has been equipped with a luminous aperture scale, illuminated setting index, preset iris, and click stops which can be disengaged. The preset iris allows the diaphragm to be opened after setting the working apertures in order to correct the image sector or focusing. Afterwards, the diaphragm can be reset easily.

This is an apochromatic 45mm f4.0 enlarging lens, most commonly used to make photographic prints with 35mm negatives. The 45mm focal length allows a much shorter enlarger column height (or larger prints) than possible with 50mm lenses often used for the 35mm film format. It is equipped with user conveniences such as an illuminated aperture scale and aperture with click stop override. This model has LEICA mounting threads.

This is an apochromatic 60mm f4.0 enlarging lens, most commonly used to make photographic prints with medium format 645 (6cm x 4.5cm) negatives. The 60mm focal length allows much shorter enlarger column heights or larger prints, compared with the 80mm focal length lenses often used for medium format enlarging. It is equipped with user conveniences such as a preset iris lever, illuminated aperture scale and click stop override. This model has 39mm LEICA mounting threads.

This is an apochromatic 90mm f4.5 enlarging lens, most commonly used to make photographic prints with medium format negatives up to 6x7cm in size. It is equipped with user conveniences such as a preset iris lever, illuminated aperture scale and click stop override. This model has 39mm LEICA mounting threads.

This is an apochromatic 120mm f5.6 enlarging lens, most commonly used to make photographic prints with 4x5 inch large format negatives. The 120mm focal length allows a much shorter enlarger column height (or larger prints) than possible with 150mm lenses often used for the 4x5 film format. It is equipped with user conveniences such as an illuminated aperture scale and aperture with click stop override. This model has 50mm x 0.75 mounting threads.

This is an apochromatic 150mm f5.6 enlarging lens, most commonly used to make photographic prints with 4x5 inch large format negatives. The 150mm focal length is the standard for the 4x5 film format and gives very even illumination across the format. It is equipped with user conveniences such as an illuminated aperture scale and aperture with click stop override. This model has 55mm x 0.75 mounting threads.

The SCHNEIDER lenses of the COMPONON series have been in wide use for many years as professional enlarging lenses of 35 mm and medium formats with linear magnifications between 2 and 20 times.

Their optical design adapted to the different negative sizes - six elements in four components - and the type of correction used guarantee high-contrast rendition and excellent reproduction of even the most minute negative detail.

Mechanically, the Schneider COMPONONS also match the latest state of the art with illuminated aperture scales, click stops as well as stop-less aperture adjustments and with preset aperture controls.

Disengaging the click stop system permits precise fine adjustment of the aperture when working with color analyzers and other meter systems. Once the lens is stopped down to the desired aperture, the preset control allows it to be reopened fully for cropping and/or refocusing, and then stopped down again to the working aperture shown on the luminous scale.

The Schneider Componon-S lenses are recognized industry-wide as a top-performing range of professional enlarging lenses. They are 6-element, 4-group lenses with special optical glass that are superbly corrected for a flat field, high-contrast transfer, and excellent definition over the whole field. With their high level of color correction, they are also ideal for top-quality color enlargements in enlargers using either opal lamps or cold-cathode lighting. The high performance of the Componon-S is maintained even at high magnifications and in distortion control setups.

Mechanically, the Componon-S lenses are specially matched to enlarging requirements. The aperture ring with a linear f-stop scale -- for focal lengths 135mm to 210mm with illuminated iris scale -- has click stops at full and half steps.

Componon-S lenses of 50mm to 100mm focal lengths are fitted in a new barrel mount with a luminous aperture scale, click stops which can be disengaged, and a preset aperture control. With this system the iris can be opened after stopping down to the desired aperture for final cropping adjustment or fine focusing. A lever then returns the iris to the previously selected working aperture shown on the luminous scale.

The Schneider Componon-S range of top-level enlarging lenses superbly meets all optical requirements of professional enlarging.
