For Sale FS Enlarging Lenses

I have four enlarging lenses for sale.

First up is a very clean 90mm f:5.6 Fujinon-EP This lens will cover 6x7 and 6x8 easily and may even hit the corners on 6x9. There is no retaining ring for this lens.
I'd like to get $50 plus shipping for this nice clean sharp lens.

Next up is an Omicron-EL of 50mm f:2.8. This lens is clean and clear and has a lovely gold color coating and looks to all the world to be a El Nikkor and I suspect it was made by Nikon for Omega and made in Japan. No retaining ring for this lens.
I'd like to get $65 plus shipping for this nice enlarging lens.

Next up is an old uncoated Kodak Projection Anasatigmat of 161mm f:4.5 This lens is mounted in a custom cut Beseler board. Considering the age of this lens it is in pretty good condition with some internal dust and one possible spot of fungus, but very small and not a huge problem. This lens will probably cover 5x7 easily and might make an interesting taking lens for LF or an enlarging lens for a classic effect.
I'd like to get $35.00 plus shipping for this interesting old classic.


Last up is a very nice and clean 135mm f:5.6 El-Nikkor 4x5 enlarging lens. It comes mounted on a Beseler lens board
The lens is in excellent condition very clean glass and aperture is smooth. Just an all around great enlarging lens.
I'd like to get $125.00 plus shipping for this fine lens. Sold

The 6-element 4-group Omicron EL was made by Sankyo Kohki for the Omega enlarger company (Berkey Marketing Companies, at that time). The same lenses were also marketed as Beseler Color Pro for the Charles Beseler Company and as Komura—one of Sankyo Kohki’s brands (Komura and Chibanon).

The fit, finish, coatings, and optical performance of my 90 mm f/5.6 Omicron EL is identical to that of the EL Nikkors from the same period (excellent).

Good to know! I alreasy wondered who did the Omicron EL serie...

The Omicron EL 2.8/50mm is the lens I use the most and I am totally happy with it.

Thanks to Ian and Dali for your comments on the 50mm Omicron. It is a nice lens and reasonably priced and still available

The 50mm, 90mm and the 161mm still remain. Take a look and make me an offer on one or all. Thanks for looking.

Due to a misunderstanding on my part, I have apparently misidentified the Beseler Color Pro and Omicron EL Lenses as being made my Sankyo Kohki, the maker of Komura and Chibanon brands. According to this Camera Wiki article, Sankyo Kokhi went out of business in 1980-1981. A more careful researcher pointed out information indicating that the actual maker of the Beseler Color Pro and Omicron EL lenses was actually another the Japanese company. I apologize for the confusion of my misstatement.

Ian,
Your apology is accepted

Just a quick note to say thanks to Robert for a pleasant & straightforward transaction for the Nikkor lens (and some other Beseler parts) & for being happy to post internationally. Everything was as described, arrived promptly & was well packed.

These enlarging lenses are still available

Hi Robert,
I'm interested in some of the lenses. Are they still available?
