Finally,i got my enlarger (D5) last week end.But,it comes with two unusal lenses ,a Rodenstock Rodagon 28mm f4 and a Rodenstock Rodagon WA 120mm f5.6.I will mainly do 4x5 and 6x4.5.I think that i need a 75 or 80mm le ns,but what is the 120mm lens for?Thanks.

It is an excellent wide angle enlarging lens for 4x5.

The 28mm is not capable of covering 35mm much less 645.

Thanks Bob for your help.I have one more question.The 120mm lens is mounted in a "printstar adaptor".What is it?I can not find any right size lens board or plate for it?Should I take it off and mount it directly to a plate?

I never heard of a printstar adapter so I can't help you there.
