I am looking for a lens board and 80 mm lens for my 23 cII Beseler enlarger. Would this listing from Ebay work and is it a good deal? Thanks for the input everyone.

Welcome to Photrio.
I've moved the thread and revised the thread title.

That is an appropriate lens. I'll let the Beseler 23CII users chime in on what lens board that is - it might be for the 23C series.
Lens boars for 23C enlargers should be easy to find, and it should be easy to swap that one out if necessary.

That looks like a lens board for a Beseler 23C. 4" x 4".

great lens... i've used Fuji, Schneider & Rodenstock.... all of similar quality.

That's a perfect setup, as long as the lens is free of fungus, little white or clear trails. You might ask the question.

It will be a steal with the lensboard. They used to be cheap.... now a new Beseler lensboard from B&H is a special order and $150 USD plus.
