Ok I am headed to a place that has a huge collection of enlarger lenses for sale. Some of them are marked $300 and $400 bucks.

He is letting stuff go for cheap. Lots of Schneider Componon, Rodenstock Rodagon, some Nikkor, a Bessler and 2 wollensak raptars. I bet he has 30-40 lenses in all and some look like this one (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=46421&is=REG&A=details&Q=) with the little thingy on the front.

I will note the exact lenses and if anyone wants on let me know if he has them I will get then for you and you just pay me the cost plus shipping. I dont want to make a dime. I just want to help you guys f you need a lens for working in your dark room. So you lens peddlers there will be a fee for you, LOL

So I am off to help save some lenses from ebay! I hope

The focal lengths are
50 2.8
60mm 4.6
63mm
75mm comparon 4.5
80mm 5.6
90mm wollensak 4.5 raptar
100mm 4.5 (Bessler)
127mm wollensak raptar 4,5

Is anyone intrested in these

I can get the lenses for around 20 to 30 bucks each, I will buy them if you like. I picked up a ziess tessar with a red T 1:3.5 f=3.5 and a Federal Anastigmat 3.5" f4.5 lens with flange ( that's is 90mm right?) $20 for both.

I also got a few other cool things like a Pentax 6x7 to 645 adapter with caps (oem) for $15 bucks, I got two brand new focusing screens for my 645 the G-20 and C-21 $10 each.

He is cleaning house. He had a film holder for the baby graphic. I was half tempted to offer him a lump sum for everything. He has a bunch of neat stuff, lots new in the box. I got a sailwind vignetter (NIB) kit. It has a cool geared bellows, I think it would make a nice lens hood, matte box or speedlight modifier. It has a slick mount.

I got some grip, manfrotto 384 with 2 qr plates, bunch of old Matthews super clamps, Smith Vector flags, gobos, and holders some photoflex speedrings and strobe connector #202. All kinds of cool stuff. I think I spent a hundred bucks total!

I will go back in a few days to see if he brings more stuff up front. I felt like a kid in the candy store

The general monetary direction most photo gear is heading -- great bargains for buyers, not so much for sellers. Cool stuff you plucked - keep us posted.

Are you interested in parting with your 6x7/645 adapter?

I'd have to know more about them. Is the Rodagon the latest N version? What is it's condition? $100 is not a great price for an enlarger lens these days, unless it's pristine and a later model. If the Rodagons don't fall under that description, I'd be interested in one of the others, if they're in good condition. In particular, the lenses shouldn't have any fungus.

I also would be interested in some grip equipment. Super clamps, magic arms... If you could get a pic, that'd be great! If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it.

No not really, I never felt like shelling out a hundred buck for one, when I saw it, I just had to have it.

I'd be interested in an enlarger lens in the 240-plus range, at a good price.
Thanks for looking!

I would be interested in the 63mm lens if it is a nikon. Not sure if anyone else made that focal length.

Just about to post a Sale ad.

I have some Rodenstock enlarger lenses I'm considering selling. Might hold onto the Rodagon 50mm f1:2.8 (for 35mm) and possibly the Rogonar-S 75mm f4.5 (if I venture back into 6x6), but am thinking of parting with the Rodagon APO-N 105mm f4 and Rodagon 135mm f5.6.
Only the 105mm (the pick of the bunch) still has the front cap, but all still appear in great working order - glass looks clear, the aperture ring free/confident and the blades oil-free. All in plastic mount cases.

Also have a sticky Rodenstock-Ysaron 75mm f4.5. Optically seems fine. Although the blades close the aperture ring seems a little stubborn.

I'm in Australia and although I'd prefer a local on-shore deal I'd be happy to hear from anyone interested in a trade (35mm film gear pref. RF) or sale.

Send me a PM or email if interested. Or look at the Classifieds for more info.
