Re: Enlarger lens for macro work

[andrew fildes <afildes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes - mounted on bellows. Excellent. And a really top quality lens is 
much cheaper than a regular macro. I've used a Rodenstock 105mm which 
has a 49mm filter ring! (most don't have a filter ring). If you visit 
the Zoerk site, they have som info as they manufacture focussing 
tubes for just this purpose. (www.zoerk.com?)
But they are flat field lenses and best for copying flattish static 
subjects. And they are harder to use, of course, having no auto 
diaphragm.
