It's the Rodenstock 75mm f4 APO Rodagon D optimized at 0.8X to 1.2X which I can also use on my enlarger or view camera. And which I got for chump change used. Its a honey of a hunk of glass! Looks like an enlarger lens! Magnification 1:1 AND BE THERE! For when what you want on your 24x36mm piece of film also happens to be 24x36! That way no one can accuse you of distorting reality. And if you cant think of any pictures to take you can just take pictures of some of your other negatives. Giving you positives. The possibilities are endless!
