I'm putting together a negative scanning setup and have found a nice 80mm Rodenstock Rodagon f/4.0 enlarger lens that I'm thinking about purchasing.
I'm using a light pad to illuminate the negative. I have a Simmons Omega enlarger with the copy stand attachment. I have a Sony A5000 attached to it.
My overly paranoid question is, should I be looking for an enlarger lens that doesn't have an illuminated aperture? If I'm not working in a perfectly dark environment, can light leak through the aperture ring and up through the red dot to the camera sensor? Does that make sense?
I know that I can just tape or paint the dot, but I guess I'd rather just get what works.
