120mm Rodenstock Imagon

[Dan Unkefer]

Hi All,Just won #140059796277 Rodenstock Imagon 120mm, in Canon FD mount. This is new in the original packing, designed by Schmactenburg for Rodenstock. I also picked up a new Rodenstock 150mm Imagon cell set, which I understand is interchangable on the Schmactenburg focusing tube.My intention is to get some adapters fabricated by a photo machinist, so I can use this lens on 6x6 format. I suppose if I got a Canon B adapter, I could put it on a Visoflex and use it on my new Voigtlander TeleMetro. That would be interesting.Anybody here familar with the modern 120mm Imagon?

Uh, if it's in FD mount it's probably designed for 35mm; therefore its image circle probably will only cover the small format size (~40mm). If you try to put it on a 6x6 camera it will only create an image circle roughly the size of the 35mm frame.

Hi Eric,Actually AFAIK it's image circle is plenty big enough for 6x6. Adapters were available for this lens in Hasselblad 500/2000, Rollei SLX/6008, Mamiya M645, Pentax 6x7, and Mamiya RB/RZ. But also Nikon, Minolta, Canon, Leica, and Pentax M42.
