them to Ebay:

I took a few shots with an enlarging lens mounted

Componon-S. As expected, the results were more than
satisfactory. About as good as can be expected from
35mm film. I also tried larger fstops but the depth
of field was insufficient.
And just last week, I was using that exact lens in an enlarger...
How did you attach the lens to the bellows? Did they make an M42
version, or are you using an adapter?

I've always used Rodenstock enlarging lenses. Best lens I ever owned (till

I'm going to pick up the Schneider as well and run some tests. I like my
50/2.8 El Nikkor, so I figured I'd give this one a try. It appears to be a
much earlier lens, as it has a metal body. In any case, thanks for the
opinion.

Yes. Sometimes using a smaller aperture (stopping down) will correct or
minimize the problem.

All condensor enlargers and pretty much all of the amateur
grade diffuser rigs have uneven illumination. An easy (though
inefficient from a printing time POV) fix is to add a second
diffuser, either just inside the mixing
making contact sheets.

I don't remember who said that but I do recall that the poster seemed
