Description — Rodenstock 115mm f/6.8
The Rodenstock 115mm f/6.8 Grandagon-N MC is a prime wide-angle lens designed specifically for large format technical camera systems, mounting via a standard lens board. At a fixed 115mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/6.8, it is built for controlled, deliberate shooting where precision matters. The lens is manual focus only, in keeping with the ground-glass focusing workflows typical of large format photography.
With a 67mm filter thread, photographers can easily attach standard circular filters for creative or exposure control purposes. Weighing just 300g, it is a relatively lightweight option for a large format prime. The MC (multi-coated) designation indicates the lens features a multi-coating treatment to help reduce flare and improve contrast.
With no image stabilization, use on a rigid support system is essential for achieving sharp results.
