Rodenstock 32mm HR Digaron-W in Aperture Only mount

[Pemihan]

Does any of you have the Rodenstock 32mm HR Aperture Only mount and if so how sturdy do you find it in comparison to Copal 0 mount?

Thanks
Peter

As discussed in our article about the Rodenstock Aperture-Only Mount the new mount was specifically designed to handle the weight of the front element of the Rodenstock 32HR. Of course the only sure test of this is to wait a year or two and ask larger dealers like us how many of their clients have had 32HR lenses, mounted in the new Aperture-Only mount come out of alignment during that time. But given that it's now the same company that makes (and is therefore responsible for the joint performance of) both, and given that the Rodenstock Aperture-Only mount is being made with material/manufacturing science/technology that is decades more advanced than that of the legacy Copal shutter, and given the exceptional reputation, track record, and focus on quality Rodenstock has I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Anecdotally it looks/feels solid in person.
