Most of my enlarger glass indeed over the years are matched Nikors.
I keep them with my matches.
And I've played around with putting them on my Viso with bellows with the do
dads I've already got. No 105mm though darn!. But a conspicuous contender
would be my 63mm lens. They won't sell this lens to just anyone!:) The lens
in which all my darkroom printed Leica negs must pass! Unless I spill coffee
all over it in a Starbucks; Shooting macros in The Heights. Of Manhattan
Valley.

This is all balanced out by the fact that my favorite loupe is a 50mm 1.4
Nikkor turned upside down with hole in its body cap. Nothing I've run into
not JSK or nothin had been its equal.

On my camera I'll use an AF 1.8 made in Thailand which cost 99.99 USD and
turns out to be a USD lens.
Lousy in the darkroom though I think.

I think that's "NOR nothin".
