I tried with a 50/3.5 screw mount Elmar and found it remarkably poor for printing though it was in fact the standard Leica enlarging (and taking) lens of its day. I was curious as to how and why use an M mount lens for printing. I think the current 50/2 with its fixed mount projects too much from the enlarging lens mount on most/all Leitz enlargers if it has an adapter to fit 39mm screw(Though I do note Novoflex make an M to Leica screw adapter...). So it would I presume be only possible with the lens unit of an older Summicron separated from the focussing mount and attached to some no doubt impossible to find and very expensive adapter.
