Want to Buy WTB: 105mm enlarging lens

[Gerry M]

I prefer Schneider, Rodenstock or Nikkor. For 6X9 format. Needs to be for 39mm lens board. If you have one of these available, please PM me.
Thanks,
Gerry

OK, PM me if you find it.

I think I have an extra Componon in nice shape. I'm not sure if I have an extra 39mm adapter for it though. What enlarger is it going on? Maybe I have a board.

Mark,
By 39mm adapter, do you mean the retaining ring? It is going on a Beseler 23C2.

Schneider lens used to have smaller diameters than 39mm, but had an adapter available that took them up to 39mm. I don't think I have an adapter to spare, but will see if I have a board and retaining ring.

You don't have anything interesting to trade do you?

Mark,
What Schneider lens do you have? I have a 50/2.8 Componon-S that is 39mm. As far as trade, the only thing that comes to mind is a Tokina ATX 28-85 Minolta MD mount. It is as new.

No luck finding an adapter or retainer (did find a board). Sorry. But to answer your question, mine is a 105 Componon. I didn't realize that it is on a nice threaded board for my Durst enlarger now. I have two lens about that focal length, so figured one was a spare, but they are mounted on different enlargers so I guess it makes sense to keep them both for the occasional situations where I need the focal length.

Sorry for the false positive. Good luck with your quest.

I have a new (old Stock) Wollensak 90, might even have the correct lensboard for a Bessy 23c. I have one on my ProLab 4x5, it was designed for 6x9 coverage, sharp in the corners.

Glad you stuck with it. I use the 105mm for 6x7 and it works great!
