Leica marketed an f/4.5/95 Focotar from 1953 to 1960.  To my knowledge, the
only enlarging lens presently available is the 2.8/40 WA-Focotar.

>From 1936 until 1953, Leitz marketed the 4/90 Elmar VOORT for the Focomat II
and IIa.  From 1960 until 1977, they made a 4.5/100 V-Elmar and from 1977
until 1983 the 5.6/100 Focotar-2.  I believe that's the entire saga.
