    Help with Rodagon f 135 mm enlarging lens minimum aperture

    I recently acquired a Beseler 45MX enlarger and it came with a Rodagon 135 mm lens. The glass is in very good condition, however the aperture window shows a minimum of f-16 but the lens stops at f-11, is there a problem? Anyone have experience with this lens?

    Slightly pull out the aperture ring and rotate it.
