    Sinaron S 135mm f5.6

    Hi,
    Last week I bought a Wista 45dx in very nice condition with a lens mounted in a very home made lens board. I have now remounted the lens in a Wista board.
    The lens has engraved on the outer edge of the front lens set "Sinaron S 72 degrees 1:5.6 f=135mm MC Sinar" it is mounted in a synchro-compur shutter, it was effectively thrown in with the body! A bit of searching on this forum explains that it is actually made by Rodenstock and re-badged for Sinar.
    The reason I am posting this question is because I can't find a similar lens on the internet that looks the same. So is my lens genuine, if so is it true that Sinar picked the best Rodenstock lenses to be Sinaron S lenses or is that simply a well repeated myth? I guess even if this isn't true it should be a good performer ?
    Not yet had the time to try the camera and lens in anger so everything is currently theoretical!
    Photo of the lens attached.
    Thanks

    ps My other camera is a 5x4 Nagaoka Seisakusho

    Sinaron S = Apo Sironar N (rodenstock), in this case, a slightly older version, but only differs from newer ones by the way its marked.
