I print exclusively in black and white and use an Apo Rodagon.  I like it very
much.  In informal tests I've done, it looks much like a Focotar 2.  I would
suggest reading CTEIN's book "Post Exposure"( an excellent book for all
darkroom addicts).  He ran extensive tests on enlarging lenses and came to
some interesting conclusions.  In his opinion, the most expensive lenses
aren't always the best.  Good luck.  There are a lot of very good lenses out
there-it's hard to choose.
