I have one more item to sell that I have not yet posted to ebay. It's
an El-Nikkor 105/5.6 enlarging lens. This is a good focal length for
6x7 or 6x9 negatives. This lens is a beauty. It's black and chrome and
appears to be all metal. It's beautifully crafted. The machine work is
amazing. If

I'm not interested in it myself, though if I didn't have a nice

Nope, you saw one with a metering prism on it. You have to turn it on,
I think. Dunno, I don't have one. Another giveaway is that it sticks

Hi Shel,
The Componon-S is actually a 100mm lens. With my Omega DII on the
baseboard, 8x10 comes just a little higher than half way up the column,
slightly lower for edge to edge full neg on 8x10 paper. But not much
lower, since 6x7 negs are pretty close to 8x10 proportion. 11x14 comes
about 3/4
Thanks Paul. I'll just get the approximate measurements from my D2.
Are you satisfied with the quality of the Componon-S. I'm wondering if
there'd be a noticeable difference between it and an APO Rodagon-N.
Fortunately a friend as the Rodagon-N, so getting at least one sample to
try should
I have only just started out printing my own BW so apologies if this is a
silly question.
Why use a longer focal length lens and have to raise the head/drop the print
so far rather then use a shorter focal length and have the print nearer?
I have a Durst 605 with colour head and I am still at the

Okay, holding the camera, your right hand middle finger should be able

Hi,
Aaron gave you a good answer, but there's a little more to it for some
people and some lenses.
There are those who believe that working with a longer focal length lens,
such as an 80mm instead of a 50mm for 35mm work, alllows for sharper
and better quality results because only the center

there's no overlapping. If there's overlapping, it probably needs a

I guess it depends on where

Lots of stuff in this message, and I won't try to address it all. The
metering prism is very nice, but you have to switch the meter on. And if
the lens has been removed since the meter was turned on, you have to do
it all over again with the meter on. As with any meter, you have to

Paul,
Using the 105mm, at about what height will you get a full-frame print on
11x14 and 8x10 paper? Likewise a print that will fill an 8x10 and 11x14
with absolute minimal cropping, i.e, taking the neg to fill the narrow
part of the paper?
Working with Bruce's 6x7 negative I found that I'd
Hey y'all ... what enlarging lenses and focal lengths are you using for
your 6x7 work?
A friend is using an 80mm and I seem to recall that a few folks here
were having better results with longer lenses, like 105mm and 135mm.
