[Leica] Enlarging lens recommendation

[Aaron Ruby <aruby@rci.rutgers.edu>]

I know this may be considered off-topic, but it seems that there are
several printers on the LUG whose expertise and knowledge far surpass
any other resource I both trust and have ready access to.

The question is whether an 80mm enlarging lens will have sufficient
coverage for 6cmX7cm negs. I am looking at the Schneider 80/4, but the
Calumet web site says that the recommended neg size is 6X6. Should I go
up to 100mm? The problem there is that it might unnecessarily limit
maximum magnification on my Saunders 670VCCE relative to the 80mm lens.
On the other hand, I hate dealing with unnecessary light fall off due to
poor coverage.

I just bought a used Fuji GW670III and I'm dying to be able to print
negs from it! Any recommendations would be more than welcome. If you
don't want to clog up the list with off-topic mail, you could even email
me privately. But, in a way, I'm slightly on topic. My GW670 is kind of
like a noninterchangeable lens, plastic bodied version of my M2 on
STEROIDS.

Best,

Aaron
