Subject: [rollei_list] "New" enlarging lens
I managed to win an auction for a Schneider-Kreuznach
Componon f5.6 80mm
enlarging lens. According to the serial number it's from
around 1960. I paid
$17.95 as the only bidder. It is all chrome. My present
lens is a f4.5 75mm
S-K Comparon that I bought new as a starving student in
1970. It appears to
be black anodized aluminum. 99% of my prints are 8x10 or
less and the
Comparon does fine. I'm hoping the Componon will be better
for the
occasional 16x20. I can't remember what I paid for the
Comparon. I just know
that at the time I couldn't afford the Componon.

I have a chrome barrel Componon as above, my main lens
for Rollei negatives. Its been an excellent lens. The later,
black barrel, ones have better coatings but the earlier one
is very respectible.
