Rodenstock Apo-Ronar 300mm f/9 - Large Format

Rodenstock Apo-Ronar 300mm f/9 is a large format prime lens with a classic Apo-Ronar design. It is a straight, manual-focus process lens intended for view camera use rather than modern interchangeable stills mounts, so the exact mount depends on how it is fitted to a board or shutter. The 300mm focal length suits 5x7 and larger formats, and the f/9 maximum aperture reflects its compact, high-resolution, low-distortion character rather than speed. Apo-Ronar lenses are widely valued for very sharp reproduction, good correction and a generous image circle for movements, making them a practical choice for product, architectural and landscape work on large format cameras. Handling is entirely manual and exposure is usually set with a separate shutter or by stop-down methods depending on the installation. Used buyers should check the lens cells for haze, fungus, separation or cleaning marks, confirm the diaphragm moves smoothly if fitted in a shutter, and inspect any board, shutter or mount hardware for wear and proper alignment.
