Rodenstock Photo Optics

Rodenstock camera lenses and precision-optical lens elements and components have enjoyed a global reputation for many decades and have made a major contribution to the position of the brand today. As part of the concentration on the core business of spectacles, Rodenstock divested itself of the whole photographic and precision-optical business and sold it to LINOS Photonics in 2000.

LINOS Photonics GmbH & Co. KG took over the Rodenstock Präzisionsoptik GmbH as well as the Rodenstock Precisions Optics, Inc. in May 2000.

Today LINOS Photonics GmbH & Co. KG develops, manufactures and sells these famous Rodenstock photographic products worldwide under the brandname Rodenstock.
