I would like to buy an El Nikkor 150mm enlarger lens, in a very good shape, that is with no scratches, cleaning marks, optical issues, and preferably without too much dust. I am looking for the newer design, which has a knurled aperture ring, not the older, scalloped one. Many thanks.

Thanks, Michael. What a nice surprise to see a new one still available. I will see if I can find a second-hand one first, but I have emailed them to confirm stock. Which Rodenstock do you use, 135 or 150, out of interest, and did you compare to the newer El Nikkor? Many thanks, indeed.

Thanks, Michael. I also use the Rodagon 150 for my 4x5, and I am pleased with it, but I am curious to see if the contrast/sharpness are different with the newer El Nikkor. I usually print 12x16 or 11x14 only, with glass carriers.

Sepiareverb, thanks for replying, but I've managed to get this lens about a year ago, this thread is a little older. I like it very, very much. But now I am on a mission looking for an Apo Rodagon N 150. Would you have one? Will this quest ever stop?
