[Leica] Focomat Ia Enlarging Lenses: Compatability

[gonzalel at online.de (Leina Gonzalez)]

Hi all,

Well light bulbs aside (I've got plenty of those), Lluis I did buy a 
Schneider Componon S 2.8/50; I have it in my hands, a beautiful lens. 
(The Focotar is on the way.) Of course, I was eager to try it out and 
have found at I am unable to focus; the lighting is even. I did try 
every adjustment from the focusing ring, to the lens itself, to 
readjusting the enlarger head, and while the image is distinguishable I 
cannot focus. Have I made a mistake in assuming that this enlarger can 
handle this lens, or have I made a noob mistake? Any advice would be 
most appreciated! Thanks! L.
