Description — Horseman 135mm f/5.6
The Horseman Rodagon 135mm f/5.6 is a prime lens built for the Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount system, designed specifically for the Horseman VCC Pro. As a large format lens within the medium format camera system category, it occupies a focused niche in technical camera photography. The focal length is fixed at 135mm, placing it in the standard focal length range, with a maximum aperture of f/5.6.
All focusing is handled manually — there is no autofocus or image stabilization. The lens weighs 425g, which is a practical consideration for field or studio use with a technical camera setup. With no filter thread size listed in the specifications, users should confirm filtration options independently.
This is a purpose-built optic for a specific system, and its value lies entirely in that precise compatibility.
