Use a Tominon 135mm f/4.5 as enlarging lens?

I live near Raleigh and have a good 150mm Rodenstock Rogonar-S enlarger lens available for $18 if you want it. I may have a suitable cone as well but don't know the depth/draw needed for 150mm lenses. Unfortunately, I don't have the jam nut for the lens which is an odd size approx 50mm or less.

Thank you for the offer - the cone needed is a 2 3/4" for an Omega D2-XL. I am still waffling on if I want to spend the money - albeit only ~$20 - on an enlarger I don't own. If I decide to, I'll let you know. The head of the craft center has a call out to the local photography stores to see if they have equipment they'd be willing to donate, so I guess I'm just hoping that works out.

As it is, I found a 75mm enlarger lens in my rats nest of squirreled away darkroom supplies and plan to make a 6x6 negative carrier out of mat board for my Bronica. The darkroom has tons of Beseler 23C's, only one or two Omegas. I will probably, at least for now, stick with contact printing 4x5 negatives. I shoot more 35mm and 6x6 anyway.

Hi, the cone I have is 2.5". I suppose a spacer could be made for the lens end should you decide to try it out. Best wishes,
