Walt,

The Leica Manual by Morgan & Lester, 1955 edition, said that Leica camera 
lenses could be used on the Valoy II and other Leica enlargers.  They also 
said, "An intermediate ring (DOOBC) is available for use with 
bayonet-mounting lenses, especially the Elmar M, on both the Valoy II and 
Focomat Ic enlargers, so that owners of the Leica M 3 may use their camera 
lens for enlarging."

I used my 1946 Elmar 50/3.5 with no problems.
