Simmon Omega El-Omegar 50mm f/3.5 Enlarging Lens (M39 Mount)

The Simmon Omega El-Omegar 50mm f/3.5 is a manual focus enlarging lens produced by Simmon Brothers for use in Omega photographic darkroom enlargers, designed and optimized for flat-field reproduction work at close focusing distances. The El-Omegar designation identifies it as part of Omega’s dedicated enlarging lens series, produced to meet the optical standards required for consistent and accurate photographic enlargements in professional and enthusiast darkroom environments. At 50mm it represents a practical focal length for enlarging 35mm negatives in a darkroom context. The M39 screw mount allows it to be used with compatible Omega enlarger lens boards, and like other enlarging lenses of its type it has found a following among photographers who adapt it for macro and close-up photography on mirrorless and other camera systems via M39 adapters, where its flat-field optimization can produce excellent results for copying, macro, and product photography.
