I'm surprised to find out that Hoya makes (made?) enlarging lenses. Anyone have any experience with them?

HOYA is biggest glass manufacturer in Japan! Why should there not be an enlarging lens produced, next to filters etc.

Cheers

No I don't have a link. I saw one on Ebay ( a 105mm) but decided to pass and wait for a six element 90 mm which is all I really need for 6x7.

I just bought a Hoya 105mm F4.5 enlarger lens from the Bay. Plan to use it for printing on my Beseler 23CII.

Just purchased a Kodak Vigilant Special Six-20 (6x9), still running my first roll through it. I saw the Hoya 105mm and grabbed it for about $25.00. I will post my findings in about a week.
