Rodenstock 120mm f5.6 APO Macro Sironar lens (Copal 0).

In the near area, at scales of around 1:1, the quality of lenses optimized for larger distances falls visibly from the usual standard of performance. Here the Apo-Macro-Sironar-N lenses come into their own for imaging scales of 1:5 and greater. Incidentally, imaging scales of 1:5 or larger are required even in conventional table-top photography or studio photography (e.g. pack shots): for example, 1:3 at a film size of 13x18 cm means the full format image reproduction of an object of approximately 40x50 cm in size.

The Apo-Macro-Sironar offers excellent imaging quality in conjunction with the wide freedom of movement required for perfect perspective corrections of large-format photography. The Apo-Macro-Sironar provides exceptional results without any color fringes at a scale range from 1:5 to 2:1 without any need to adjust the lens individually. The focal lengths of 120 and 180 mm allow work with most cameras without any extra monorail extension even at a scale of 2:1.

The high quality of the large format image can immediately be seen by looking at a picture taken using a large format lens. It will have the brilliance, full detail, precision, and sharpness that can only be achieved using this photographic medium. Most importantly, Rodenstock large format lenses are top-quality lenses that meet all the demands of the photographic industry. In large format photography there is no rigid connection between the lens and the film, compared to that of the small and medium formats. The free movement of lens and film standard enables better correction.
