Description — Rodenstock 35mm f/4
The Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 35mm f/4 is a prime wide-angle lens built specifically for technical cameras using a lens board mount. It operates within the medium format camera system and is classified as a large format lens, making it a specialized tool for high-resolution digital back workflows. With a fixed 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/4, it delivers a consistent optical formula without the variables introduced by zoom mechanics.
Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus capability, suited to the deliberate, methodical pace of technical camera photography. The lens carries no image stabilization, reinforcing its design for tripod or support-mounted use. At 490 grams, it presents a substantial but workable weight profile for shooters already accustomed to the demands of large format equipment.
No filter thread size is listed in the specifications, so filter compatibility should be confirmed before use. This is a precision instrument for photographers who require a dedicated wide-angle prime on a technical camera platform.
