So, wouldn't a 50mm Summicron LTM or 35mm f2 ASPH LTM be the best 
enlarging lens on earth?

Super bright on the easel at f2

ASPH for the 35mm?

My mounting ring is already 39mm threaded.

It already did its Leica magic painting the negative, why not doubly do 
the magic painting the paper?

Or am I missing something?

Maybe not optimized for the short distances that an enlarger works at?

Or something to do with distortion?
