Re: [Leica] enlarger lens

Dear Feli,

The Schneider Componon S is a fine lens.  the f2.8 maximum aperture makes it
very easy to focus and it is very sharp indeed.  I'm very happy with mine.
Another lens that does the business but is not generally regarded as 'high
end', is the Meopta Anaret - I picked one up for about £10 and it is a super
lens - probably as good as the Componon, but let down by it's f4.5 maximum
aperture.

Take a look at Nikkors as well - I have an 80mm for mf work and it is a
superb lens.


Hope that helps
