Alfred A. Blaker writes," Most enlarger lenses, even those of purportedly good
qulaity and undeniably high price, are no better than fair when is comes to
high-magnification, high resolution photography. I have found that by far the
best readily available lenses for this work are the macro-type camera lenses."
(Handbook for Scientific Photography, p. 111)

Can any provide their experience with the R60/2.8 used as an enlarging lens,
presumably with an R to LTM adaptor?

Many thanks,
Havey Weiss
