I do all my own black and white and a lot of my RA-4 color now that I've
got a V35. 

I use a 40mm f/4 Schneider Componon on the V35 (I'd like the 40 Focotar but
picked up my V35 without it). 

I also have an Omega D2 with Aristo High Intensity Cold Light Head and V54
tube (optimized for multicontrast paper). I like it a lot too, and use both
for black and white. On it I use a 50mm Componon S, a 100mm Componon S, and
on occasion, an early Focotar, which is as sharp as any of the others to my
eye, though I've not tried to make a serious comparison.
