I have an opportunity to buy an enlarger and darkroom equipment from
a local seller. The enlarger itself looks good (though it lacks a
baseboard, so I'd have to improvise). But the package also includes
a newish looking Rogonar-S 90/4.5 lens for medium format and a 1970s
vintage El-Nikkor 50/2.8 for 35. I print mostly 6x6 and so am most
interested in comments on the Rogonar. From what I can gather, this
is a four-element lens-not Rodenstock's top line. But the
enlargements the owner showed me (a former wedding photographer who
did his own darkroom work) looked good. Anyone have experience with
this lens? (I have been using a Componon 80/4.0 at a rental darkroom
which is closing.)
The package also includes a Beseler Colorstar 3000 analyzer. As I
only do black and white, I have no use for the color analysis part of
this expensive piece of equipment, but the owner tells me that it can
also function as a timer (which I do need) and an enlarging exposure
meter. Anyone tried that? Is it useful for those purposes?
Thanks for your thoughts.
