You might be able to put the 80 and below lenses on a leica bellows, but on my PB4 it puts you right on top of the target and about the size of your thumbnail. To clear my D2X body I need to put an extension tube between it and the bellows. In that instance the 105 is the best focal length. I'm setting up a D2 enlarger this weekend so the 135 is going on it. I've got some Sinar negatives to print up. It's a pain but worth it.
