Description — Rodenstock 50mm f/4
The Rodenstock 50mm f/4 HR Digaron-W with Electronic Shutter is a prime wide-angle lens designed for large format imaging on medium format technical camera systems. With a fixed 50mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/4, this lens delivers a consistent wide-angle perspective suited to architectural, landscape, and precision studio work. It mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface, making it compatible with technical camera platforms that support board-mounted lenses.
Focus is fully manual, placing all compositional and focus decisions directly with the photographer. The lens accepts 67mm filters, enabling a broad range of filtration options for various shooting conditions. At 550g, it offers a reasonable weight profile for its large format class.
The built-in electronic shutter supports integration with digital back capture workflows. No image stabilization is included, consistent with the tripod-based, deliberate shooting methodology typical of large format technical camera use.
