Hi everyone,

I need to buy an enlarger lens of between 30 and 35mm focal length. Not interested in any really really expensive Schneider's or EL Nikkors as I don't have the budget for that Sad

Must be in usable condition (don't care what it looks like!)

This is for my copy-camera project Cool

I have a Rodenstock f4 35mm enlarger lens sitting around. Excellent condition,
just a few signs on the barrel, multiblade aperture, perfectly round. How about that one?

Eeven cheaper maybe here Click here to see on Ebay
Just take it out of the shutter, it seems to be simply front mounted.

It sounds too good, and maybe too expensive. Rodenstock are extremely good lenses. Ok, I am sitting down, I have scattered pillows around me to break my fall... Ok I am ready, tell me your price Confused

Some nice stuff you have in there Very Happy

Alas, no enlarger lens Crying or Very sad I'm specifically after one from an enlarger, they are better corrected for flat-field, which is the kind of camera I'm making Cool

Prices have really come down on enlarging lenses though...Even the better ones...I picked up a Rodenstock Rogadon 135mm F5.6 for $3.13 USD a few months back...

I've been out of work on short term disability for the last 5 months & eBay has been a regular hangout...
