6x9ers Enlarger lens help!

[PBrooks]

Hello I was just wondering if any of you have experience with the 105 F4.5 COMPARON or 105 Nikkor? Please help me decide.

The 105mm El nikkor. The Comparon is not Schneider premium quality lens.

I have the Nikkor. I like it a lot but couldn't tell you the difference between it and the Comparon.

Thank you

I use an old 105 5.6 Nikkor and a 100 Vivitar VHE (also a 5.6) which I understand is a Companon. Both are fine lenses. Pass on the Comparon.

thank ya'll for your opinion.
went with the nikkor

Good choice. I have 2 EL-Nikkors, a 50 and a 135. Both are excellent. A third, budget priced 50 mm EL-Nikkor, the 4 element model, is no slouch either if you keep the enlargement size down to around 6x or so.

Hi,
I use the 105 Componar and find it very sharp and snappy.
