Schneider's Componar — the standard 50mm enlarging lens at mid-tier quality.

The Componar is a mid-tier enlarging lens in Schneider's range, positioned above the Comparon with improved optical performance for the 35mm format. Schneider's anti-reflection coating on the Componar delivers better flare resistance than the Comparon, making it a more reliable choice for colour darkroom work.

50mm focal length, f/3.5 maximum aperture, Schneider anti-reflection coated, M39 thread mount, designed for 35mm negatives.

The Componar performs well for 35mm black-and-white and basic colour printing at standard enlargement sizes. It falls short of the Componon-S in colour accuracy and edge sharpness at large print sizes, but represents a notable step up from the Comparon. A practical mid-range choice.

Inspect for haze, fungus, and coating condition. Schneider coatings typically appear amber-gold under reflected light. Check aperture blades and M39 thread.
