The pictured Rodenstock Rodagon-G 5,6/210mm is a very special enlarging lens.
The Rodagon-G series has been specially developed for large scale ranges.
Quote from the data sheets:
“As the size of the enlargements increase, the performance limits of the enlarging lenses become increasingly visible. In particular, very high demands are made on the resolution and the contrast in finely structured details. The maximum height of conventional enlargers alone means that standard enlarging lenses are designed for scale ranges restricted to around 10x (sheet film) or 20x (35mm).
This is the reason why Rodenstock developed the Rodagon-G, optimized for scales of around 20x to 25x with a recommended scale range dispensing on the film size and focal length of about 50x.
The scale range of the Rodagon-G was chosen to link up with the other Rodagon types without any gap […]
The Rodagon-G will show its superior quality to high-quality enlarging lenses with conventional scales.This superiority is visible primarily in the focus and the even better correction of distortion.”
Long story short:
This is THE lens for perfect mural sized prints of your best 6x12 or 6x17 (or 5x7”) negatives.
The condition is very good. There is absolutely no fungus, haze or scratch.
