Subject: [Leica] enlarging lens question
From: "Scott Allen" <sallen@hermcb.com>
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 15:37:59 -0500

I have pulled my darkroom equipment from storage with plans to set it up
again.  I have an Omega enlarger with a Rodentock lens, but the lens was
damaged beyond repair when in storage.

Here's my question:  can I use my 50mm Summitar on the enlarger and expect
decent results?  The lens is in perfect condition and has a 39mm mount just
like the Rodenstock.

Thanks,

Scott

I'm glad that you said it Walt, because I was writing a response saying
precisely the same thing - I have never had a client, friend, family
member, etc. etc., say, 'oh, this is the Leica shot.' There are times
when I look back at the results of a shoot and even I am not sure which
camera I used for which shot.
