Rodenstock APO Grandagon N 35mm f/4.5

This lens with a centre-grad renders architectural interiors superbly without distortion and, at recommended aperture of f11, incredibly sharp right across the image. Exterior landscapes are also staggering when the appropriate subject and viewpoint are selected. Spacial rendering is so extended by the angle of view that most scenes take on an almost 3-D depth. A specialist tool that has no equal when used wisely.

Astonishing optical quality for any wide-angle but especially for this much coverage

It's fine for 6x12 but I'd love it to cover 4x5

Nothing else is equivalent

Pre-purchase support from Rodenstock was generous and honest
