I have much leica material which I'm going to run and find but I don't remember lenses being mentioned in what I have. Can anyone straighten me out on how long ago they stopped making them, which one to get, what they would cost (I'll go look through a shutterbug but I don't recall seeing them) did they make one as long as an 80 (that's what I'm used to for 35mm but I could learn to live with it I know they made a medium format enlarger) and How they might compare to a Nikkor which is what I'm used to. Maybe they were made too long ago to have any major advantages but there could be some sense in using the same companies enlarging lens for negs that were shot by the same companies lens. Mark Rabiner
