Sinar 115mm f/6.8 Sinaron-W MC DB Mount Lens Review

The Sinar 115mm f/6.8 Sinaron-W MC is a wide-angle lens designed for large format view cameras with DB mount. Manufactured by Rodenstock and branded for Sinar, this optic covers 5x7 format and features multi-coating for improved contrast and flare resistance. The 115mm focal length offers a moderately wide field of view on 4x5, making it useful for architecture, interiors, and landscape work where perspective control is needed.

At f/6.8, this is a relatively slow maximum aperture, typical of wide-angle large format lenses where coverage and sharpness across the image circle take priority over speed. The lens ships with a lensboard and caps, and the available units are used stock in excellent condition. For large format shooters working with Sinar systems, this represents a functional if not particularly fast option in the moderate wide-angle range, though availability appears limited to the used market.
