I use this "strange lens"

I bougth this lens in ebay and it shows true excellent resolution, but
too small DOF for my macro work. I needed a diapragm!. Because this
lens is easy to dismount, I bought for near nothing in ebay a Rogonar-
S enlarger lens and I changed the intermediate tube whith its
diaphragm body. It works perfect and now I have the expensive Apo-
Rodagon 1:1 for a bargain price. The unique issue is that the f number
marked is one stop larger than the actual, but for me it is no
problem.
I use it monted in pentax bellows on a EOS 20D whith the adequate
adapters, and it's the sharpest lens I own: better than Canon 50mm
Compact macro, better than Canon L zooms, olympus macro lenses and
slighly better than Apo Rodagon 75mm 2X.
There are lots of Rodenstok enlarger lenses whit the same diaphragm
body.

No, no, you're spozed to spell it "lense". Everyone on eBay does it.
