    Overview

    The Meopta Anaret 50mm f/4.5 is a four-element enlarging lens with a straight-six diaphragm, noted for better correction than earlier Belar models. It was so well-regarded that Schneider marketed it under their own name, Componar-S, indicating high quality and reliability. The lens is built to last, as evidenced by the survival of pre-war Meopta optics. It suits users needing a sharp, reliable enlarging lens for 35mm film, though it is not a taking lens for cameras.
