I have and use the Schneider 40mm APO Componon HM lens and it is the best 
short enlarging lens I have ever had!!! And I've had a lot over fifty 
years. I bought it several years ago when Schneider was giving a $50 rebate 
on their APO enlarging lenses. I actually bought the 40, 90, & 150 APO 
Componon HM lenses. These lenses are unbelievable!!! Not too long ago Erwin 
(I believe I remember correctly) endorsed the 40 as the best he has used.
