Which version of the Rodagon do you have? I had a Rodagon, either 100 or 105mm, I forget, maybe 90mm it wasn't impressive at all. Nex5, Olympus EPM1, yashica half 14, Canon eos 650 want to see samples of mine? please click My lenses If you enjoyed this lens, you should try Rodagon 105/5.6 It kills the Noflexar in all optical aspects except maybe flaring, bokeh and speed.

It had a red band around it and I might have just had a dog of a copy, it was constructed differently to the other Rodenstock enlarging lenses I've had or have, I don't think it was a plasmat type as the front element was a single one and in a plasmat it would be a cemented doublet, so that suggests it is a different optical formula to the 'normal' plasmat type enlarging Rodagons.

These were all made by Staeble for Novoflex, correct?Ĭurrent favourite lenses (I have many more):Ī few macro-Tominons, Samyang 12/2.8, Noritsu 50.7/9.5, Rodagon 105/5.6 on bellows, Samyang 135/2, Nikon ED 180/2.8, Leitz Elmar-R 250/4, Celestron C8 2000mm F10 The 105mm looks like much more fun than the 60mm from what I can see here. I only had the Novoflex 60/4 bellows head.

Thereby, the pyrometer is used for measuring the temperature having a temperature more than 700-degree Celsius. The working of the pyrometer depends on the intensity of light emitted by the heated body. Because of this property, the pyrometer is used for the number of applications. The temperature is measured without contacting the heated body.

The optical pyrometer has high accuracy.The filament looks dark if their temperature is less than that required for equal brightness The filament looks bright when their temperature is more than the temperature of the source. When the brightness of the filament and the brightness of the object are same, then the outline of the filament is completely disappeared. The magnitude of the current is adjusted until the brightness of the filament is similar to the brightness of the object. Hence the adjustable current is passed through the lamp. The intensity of the filament depends on the current passes through it. It consists the lens which focuses the radiated energy from the heated object and targets it on the electric filament lamp. The optical pyrometer is shown in the figure below. The lamp has the filament which is connected to the battery, ammeter and the rheostat. The filter helps in getting the monochromatic light. The filter is placed in front of the eyepiece. The lamp is kept between the eyepiece and the lens. The pyrometer is cylindrical inside which the lens is placed on one end and the eyepiece on the other end. The construction of the optical pyrometer is quite simple. Hence the non-contact pyrometer is used for measuring their temperature. It is not possible to measures the temperature of the highly heated body with the help of the contact type instrument.
