[Leica] Focomat I

[gonzalel at online.de (Leina Gonzalez)]

Hi Lluis,

It was fairly easy to find a Focotar F4,4/50 in nice condition, but then 
again I'm in Germany so maybe that helps. Though I did have to wait a 
few weeks to find exactly the one I wanted. I've also heard good things 
about the Schneider-Kreuznach Componon which is the reason I went ahead 
and bought one as well. It would be great to see some enlargements made 
with the lens; actually the reason that I was insistent on the Leica 
enlarger & lens, is that I do shoot with Leica glass, and someone on a 
film forum mentioned that it doesn't make much sense to have a great 
lens, but not a great enlarger lens: I had been searching for a Durst 
with the Schneider-Kreuznach, but they aren't easy to find; then I 
researched the Leica enlargers (I had actually read about them in the 
back of my camera's user manual) and figured I would try to find one. In 
any case, I am pretty sure that this model doesn't have the AN glass, 
and ring, so I will have to search for one. Thanks again!
