As a side amusement in these times of Covid-19 I've been compiling a list of the part numbers on the aperture bands of Rodenstock large-format lenses in newer-style Copal non-press shutters. These numbers have the form xxxx.xxx, where xxxx is 0005 for Grandagons, 0011 for the APO Sironar N/S/W, 0004 for the 90mm Geronar WA, 0012 for the 210mm Macro-Sironar, and 0013 for the 150/210/300 Geronars. I've managed to assemble a pretty complete list from my own small lens collection, by peering at eBay listings, and with help from a few members of the Large Format Photography Forum. The only info still missing from my list is the 200mm Grandagon-N. Can any of my fellow Photrians help me out with this information? Private message is fine if you don't want to publicize your ownership, and I don't want to buy it from you.
I don't know if the 200mm Grandagon was ever offered in the old-style Copal 3 with non-equal spaces between the major f-stop markings. If that's what you've got, please say so along with the info, and similarly for the newer style shutter where the spaces between the f-stop marks are equal.
I'm happy to share my list with anyone who sends me an email address.
Thanks for any help received.
