Hi,
Will my El-Nikkor 150mm lens allow me to enlarge my 5x7s to 11x14?

I've got a 150 Rodenstock that supposedly has about the same coverage as the El Nikkor. It didn't quite make it to the edges of 5x7 negs on my Beseler MB57. You really need a 180mm. If your enlarger can handle it, a 210 would be even better.

I think it depends on which 150 EL-Nikkor you have. Mine, the older one with the weird size mounting flange, definitely will cover 5x7.
