hello all,

 

i am thinking about buying this dagor lens. its really hard to find

information out anywhere. what i would like to know is if its a real golden

dagor or not.

 

heres what it reads on the lens: "dagor 8 1/4 in f/6.8 #779XXX C.P. Gorez am

opt co."

 

the rim is gold but looks like brass

 

if not a golden dagor what is it? is it coated? thanks for all the help guys

The "Golden Dagor" was a way for Goerz to give a facelift to the Dagor lens and a marketing ploy. Companies do that all the time. I have a couple of these Gold Rim Dagors as well as the regular garden variety black rim Dagors. They are all good lenses with great coverage in a relatively small size. The genuine "Golden Dagor" has a gold anodized aluminum barrel not brass. The regular Dagors have a brass barrel that is painted black. So if someone has polished off the paint down to the brass it is sometimes hard to diffentiate the two. If you are in doubt ask the seller specifically and make sure the seller has a good return policy. The coated versions will command a higher price. Good luck.
