[OM] enlarging lens

[John Duggan]

IMHO enlarging lenses make very good macro lenses in conjunction with Olympus 
bellows . The only snag being manual stop down from focussing aperture. I have 
had good results from Nik*n and Schneider 50mm lenses. I have not tried  camera 
lenses in my enlarger but read somewhere that the heat could effect any 
cemented elements in the lens.Save the 50mm to use as a loupe and buy a decent 
second hand enlarging lens.
