Thanks!
Yeah, I was wondering if I could whip up a batch of frozen margueritas with
it!

Dan,
It is my understanding that the V35 will autofocus with either the 40mm or
50mm lens if the proper camming is installed.  I suppose the only real
drawback to the use of the 50mm is smaller max print size.  Good luck with
your V35...it is a wonderful piece of hardware even if Tom thinks it looks
like a kitchen appliance. :)

Best regards,
Alan Huntley

Tom-
I have arranged to purchase a V35 with the VC module, and it is supposed to
have a 50mm Rodagon lens on it. Of couse the seller tells me that the
autofocus will work with this lens! :o{ Now you say the autofocus will not
work with a 50mm lens! AAARGH! Is there no adjustment that can be made? I
have a Focotar 50/4,5 (Focotar-1) and if I don't like the Rodagon, I will
use the Leitz lens- looked like a much easier enlarger to use than the VALOY
I I have now!- But I surely like the idea of autofocus!
Thanks
Dan
