View Full Version : sinaron SE question
I just purchased a 135mm Sinaron SE also marked MC. The serial number is 110998xx which I believe dates it's manufacture as 1991-3. There is no red color ring or otherwise around the front lens. My question is this---I know this is a Rodenstock sironar -S but is it a APO-sironar-s or not. If not should I return it and look for another. I paid $230 less than a new one from Badger. THANK YOU for any insight.

I think the red strip was stripped.

There was never a Sironar-S. Only an Apo Sironar-S.

The red strip did not appear until a later manufacturing date. Most Sinaron lenses appear in a shutterless lens mount. If the lens you purchased is in a copal shutter then you may want to ask the seller if it was professionally mounted in a way that guarantees the original spacing. If it wasn't then you may want to send it to SK grimes to make sure it is properly optimized.
Thanks guys for the information on this lens.

Rodenstock bzw. jetzt Linos als Hersteller für die meisten Sinarone ist richtig, aber:
das Sinaron-S entspricht dem Apo-Sironar-N,
das Sinaron SE dem Apo-Sironar S,
das Sinaron WS dem Apo-Sironar W,
und das Sinaron-W, nach dem hier gefragt wurde, dem Grandagon-N.
Ach ja, und das Apo-Sinaron entspricht dem Apo-Ronar.
und : sinaron-WE = apo grandagon 110-120°
