Yes, Patrick, but that is, I believe, an old lens. How IS it, BTW? I shudder at the thought of a 'Blad negative being enlarged thru a Rodenstock--I have a few of 'em, incl. an APO. Only way to go would be a 100mm Focotar 2.
When I see this thread, the only thing I think of is that chip j and jnanian would both benefit if they shared use of a properly working shift key on their keyboards.
Didn't early Hasselblads come with a Kodak Ektar lens? Kodak made some fine enlarging lenses.
not Sure about canon ... but victoR hasselblad had a shop and mR szilard szabad,So who was making cameras for Canon and Hasselblad before they started to make them by themselvers?

The first Hasselblads sold in the USA had Ektar lenses. At that time Victor Hasselblad owned a company in Sweden that distributed Kodak products. I always thought that might have had something to do with Hasselblad using Ektars on the 1600s. The later Hasselblad 1000 used Zeiss Tessars. At least mine did. The 1600's problems were not their lenses but the cameras themselves........Photo/camera history is very interesting reading. We should all read more about our hobby/profession and try to remember that the world did not begin in the 30s,40s, 50s, etc. and especially in 2000........Regards!Didn't early Hasselblads come with a Kodak Ektar lens?

to use a well-recognized brand name to make a profit; simple really.The "name" on an enlarging lens is a question of marketing.
What good reason would there have been for Canon or Hasselblad to enter the market for enlarging lenses?

Very creative, using an "oval" (zero) for an "O" (circle). I know, picky picky.
Thinking about it, probably the reason Canon or Hasselblad did not make their own enlarging lenses is simply down to economics. There are/were so many damn good lenses designed and created for enlarging that they would be struggling to make it worth while to get a decent payback from the market that was in place at that time. The three best (my opinion) enlarging manufacturers at the time, Nikon, Rodenstock and Schneider all made enlarging lenses to cover 35mm and medium format so there would be so little of the 'cake' left for for Canon or Hasselblad to make a decent return on their design and manufacturing investment.
