I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet on this List but Rodenstock does
produce two different types of lenses for 35mm enlarging and they both go by
different names. The cheaper version is the Rogonar and the better one is
Rodagon. There is the Rodagon-S and then the Rodagon-APO. Like what Chuck
says, the APO version is definitely the better one. I have used both the
Schneider Companon and the Rodagon-S as well as a Nikkor EL. For me, I loved
the Rodagon best.
And yes, it is f2.8.
