Hi all,
Does anyone have an opinion on the Durst Neotaron 75/4.5 enlarging lens? It has 'by Rodenstock' engraved on the barrel, what does this mean exactly?
I'm asking because my prints are lacking the sharpness that I was expecting, I'm shooting Agfa APX100/Rodinal Special at 6x7cm on a Linhof Tech IV and the resul ting 10"x8" prints (6x4.5 neg area used) look no better than from 35mm, I usuall y print one or two stops down.
Now I'm using a cheapo LPL66 enlarger and I haven't checked it for alignment (ne xt step) and I haven't got a focussing aid so these two things would probably he lp, but like I said, my 35mm prints (printed through a Kowa 50/2.8) look just as good...
