Pre-Owned Rodenstock Apo-Sironar Digital 35mm F4.5 Linhof Select

Pre-Owned Rodenstock Apo-Sironar Digital 35mm F4.5 Linhof Select with Copal 0 Shutter and Linhof M679 Double Recessed Lens Panel in Excellent Condition. This lens has been left with us to sell on behalf of a long-standing and trusted client.

Based on the decade+ old Apo-Grandagon 35mm F4.5, (a lens designed for use on film), Rodenstock re-worked the Apo-Sironar Digital for use with digital camera sensors up to 53 x 40mm. Considerations were to reduce curvature of field, improve corner sharpness, and re-evaluate the lens coatings used to further reduce colour fringing.

The Apo-Sirionar Digital is ideal for digital sensor sizes up to 53mm x 40mm where it’s equivalent to a medium wide angle.

Configuring the lens to cover a smaller image circle, but also for the planar flat surface of a digital sensor. There was an expectation that the lens and digital sensor would be used for stitching shots in landscape, architectural or industrial photography. With it’s freedom from distortion, the lens offers better performance from the maximum aperture, delivers maximum resolution and enhanced colour correction. Fully meeting the demands of a digital sensors, require a lens capable of resolving very fine details.

Even more exciting is that this particular lens is a ‘Linhof  Select’ meaning that it was tested and evaluated by Linhof as being amongst the best of a batch and thus suitable for sale with their cameras.

The lens is in excellent condition with slight signs of use. The optics are clean and with minimal dust. The lens is fitted onto a Copal 0 shutter. Speeds have been tested and are correct and as progressive as expected.

The lens is fitted to a Linhof M679 Double Recessed Sunken Lenspanel. The panel itself can be changed to another type if required and if available from stock.
