    Are Rodenstock Omegaron lenses any good?

    I just got a bunch of Rodenstock Omegaron lenses (50/3.5 & 75/4.0 & 105/4.0) as part of a small package and I am wondering how good they are? I've never even heard of them. Any idea of age and quality?

    Thanks.

    I have a 135mm Omegaron on my D-II and it works just fine. I've never tried it with color though.

    These lenses came as original equipment with Omega enlargers. Most likely 4 element lenses, not bad but could be better. Rodenstock provided even a lesser lens to Omega, the Omegar I think. If you don't try and stretch their capacity, they should perform fine but there is definitely better lenses out there.
