For a 35mm enlarger...

I'm told the 75mm f/4.5 Minolta Rokkor is decent. Also, the Nikor 105mm f-5.6 is
considered pretty good. These are fairly expensive as enlarger lenses go, so they 
better
be good. The last "enlarging" lens that I used was a screw mount Pentax 100mm f/4 macro
lens with a converter to Leica mount. (These converters are nearly impossible to find.)
Worked pretty damn good, but this would be an expensive way to go.

Don't try this with any other lens than a macro lens. You'll be disappointed.

Regards,
Bob...
