What size lens for medium format
I have a 50mm lens on my enlarger which I can use for my 35mm film.
Being a newcomer to medium format, and certainly never worked with medium format in the darkroom, what lens would be best for my 6x4.5 negatives |

Classically, 80mm, though longer (up to 105mm) will not hurt. You'll just get smaller enlargements at a given height of the head on the column.
Cheers, R. |

Yes 80mm will cover no problem. Infact will cover 6x6 and 6x7 although some 80s claim not to cover 6x7. But unless you are doing very big enlargements 80 is all you need.
