No problem with focusing as long as you keep the extension ring in the enlarger. In my opinion the componon-s is a much better lens then the focotar. But I'm not sure how it works with a 1a. Weren't these meant to be used with a elmar? Cheers, Michiel Fokkema 2009/1/29 Slobodan Dimitrov <s.dimitrov@charter.net>: > Place a neg in the carrier. Frame the image onto an 8x10 easel.
