I use a 50mm enlarger lens for 35mm and 80mm for medium format with Beseler 67 or 23 enlargers. I was organizing my darkroom stuff today and found an El Nikkor 105mm enlarger lens that I got as part of an enlarger package I won at the usual auction site. Can I use this for medium format as well?

I use a 105mm El Nikkor for 6x6 and 6x7 with my Beseler 23CIII. The results are in my gallery here. I've no idea why one needs any other lens for medium format.

Jovo, is your lensboard flat or does it have an extension?
