Paul ... Some 105/5.6 Nikkors are considered to be of top optical quality, notably the 105/5.6N and the APO 105/5.6. However, the "run-of-the-mill" Nikkor 105 does not receive highest marks. Also, of all the better lenses in the 105 focal length, the Nikkor does not, as far as I can determine, offer �-stop clicks, which may make precise and repeatable exposures somewhat of a problem. IAC, you might want to ask the seller exactly which model lens is offered, and verify if, should it be a newer model, it has �-stop clicks. Frankly, it would not be my first choice in enlarging lenses. However, if you're going to test various samples, then you're on the right track.
