Alfred A. Blaker writes,&quot; Most enlarger lenses, even those of
purportedly good qulaity and undeniably high price, are no better than
fair when is comes to high-magnification, high resolution photography. I
have found that by far the best readily available lenses for this work
are the macro-type camera lenses.&quot; (<i>Handbook for Scientific
Photography</i>, p. 111)<br>
<br>
Can any provide their experience with the R60/2.8 used as an enlarging
lens, presumably with an R to LTM adaptor?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
