Camera lens as Enlarger lens
If one reads early literature particularly Leica information it recommends using the camera lens that one has taken the picture with as the lens to use on the enlarger. Personally, I don't hold with this on two counts. Firstly an enlarger lens needs to be very flat field and secondly adhesives used in the manufacture of camera lenses may be effected from any heat given off by the enlarger lamp. I do hold with the theory that certain focal length enlarger lenses are suitable for specific film format which 50mm is the ideal for 35mm albeit Leitz produce, as standard a 40mm for thier Focomat V35 which mens that baseboard to optics distance is less on equivalent size images compared with a 50mm
