Vivitar VHE and Rodagon
"Mike M" wrote in message
news What was so special about this Vivitar VHE 135mm enlarging lens? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...spage name=ST RK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 The reason I ask is that it sold for $52.97. On the other hand, I won this Rodagon 135mm for $21.50 yesterday: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...spage name=ST RK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Is the Vivitar a superior lens? Someone got a real bargain on the Rodagon. That's much less than they usually go for (or have things really gotten that bad in silver land?). About the Vivitar, I have no idea. The common garden variety Japanese Vivitar is pretty common and garden variety - not much of a match for a Rodagon. The seller seems to be making the hint it is a Rodagon or Companon in Vivitar livery - my response is, so what? Why get a Mercedes that is badged as a Chevrolet? -- Nicholas O.

The VHE was a Componon and a Plymouth would be more appropriate then a Chevrolet since both the Mercedes and the Plymouth are Daimler Benz products. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |

I have been following enlarger sale on eBay for a few weeks now,and
older componons and rodagon are going literally for a song. People seem to be interested only in APO-Rodagon and Componon-S. Older chrome barrel componons are not even getting sold. So, I guess things are really bad in silver land. I got a 75mm schneider comparon (4 element lens) for 5 dollars. -Sreenath Nicholas O.
