So I have a 90 Schneider Apo Componon HM for my Hassy stuff, and a 120 WA Rodagon for the 4x5. The 35 MM category is a bit tough.. I have a requisite 50 Nikkor 2.8, but my 35 printing is negligible. What interests me is your comment about the 105 El Nikkor...... I have one, in fact they are common... but your comment about covering only 35 is a bit puzzling...... are you speaking about the 105 APO El-Nikkor? That covers 6x6, ro so I have been told. It is the rare bird..... and priced, used, more than what you saw in the 70's Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net One lens I've wanted to try was the 105/5.6 El Nikkor that covered only 35. Apparently it defined the pinnacle of enlarger lens performance in the 70's.
