Rodenstock Rodagon 300mm f5.6 Enlarging Lens has two circular yellow stickers on the thread in front of the front lens. Does this indicate anything from Rodenstock?

thanks, - Brad

Can you post a picture? The only sticker mine has is a silver and blue one that reads "Rodenstock Quality Seal."

Hello Ic-Racer,
I decided not to purchase this Rodenstock lens from the seller.

The Rodenstock is a great lens. Mine came with the original receipt for $1800. It would cost about $5000 USD today.

Thanks, ic-racer,

Yes, I plan on one eventually before too long, but I'm still gathering up many items for the other parts I'll need for the Durst G 184 (1958 release model) Condenser Head 8x10 inch enlarger with two Lacon 380. Ended up purchasing a Durst Fan 300 für BWL & Color Kopf auf Durst Laborator 138S G139 184 as a fan with 4 Spirl pipes - of which I guess I will only use one connected to the G 184 Condenser Head; an extra DURST CLS2000&CLS1000HL2501/06Lamp Cooling Fan 220 V.50/60HZ Heidolfmake; a DURST VARIPUT S.0498 VARIABLE LIGHT INPUT 110V, 125V, 220V, 240V; a Leitz Stabilisierter Trafo für Vergrößerer. Typ 042-827.251., a Componon-S 300mm 5.6 Large Format Enlargement Lens w/Retaining Ring; and some other Durst parts.

I suspect there are some limitations and differences between the Durst Laborator G 184 Condenser Head - 1958 release model, and the Durst Laborator L 184 from the 1970 s ? release model. Though I've not had any luck finding any Durst manual on the Laborator G 184 Condenser Head 1958-year release model.

Thanks, - Brad
