I got a fuji 180 enlarging lens- it works but there is some illumination difference from center to edges [that I could handle with doging/burning]

OOPS I mis typed The combo is just shy of 12"", using the 24 and the 18+ as is yours
I have the 11+24 combo
Putting a single element out front protects the shutter blades. I did check focus shift, probly with the 24" element, and found it to be 3/8 inch

Despite the moany-groany about bean counters on this site----
The prices may not make sense for folks whose finances are tight,
but from a production standpoint the prices do make sense

Smith shot 35mm and sometimes heavily manipulated prints to get the drama he wanted.
The handsaw jammed into the corner of a pic of Albert Schweizer may be the grossest example- not that it jumps...

Don't look now, but you got old
When the end of film was announced I got out my 2D that I had for years but only sporadicaly used. I figured I'd ride out the last 5? 10? years until no film...
I am impressed by the use of depth of focus. I didn't even notice the bright light above her head until I had appreciated the image

Let's see
Flange-focal distance is available on an oft-cited site- Dan Fromm has provided a sticky with tons of places with good information, including for Fuji lenses.

Inexpensive and very small
Did anyone do the math?
I get, from the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals of 19.7 and 25, not 12 but 11", and 12" for 21+28
Well it's not math but arithmetic, and I'm old , so please verify

The 'e' after a vowel is the way to write an umlaut if an umlaut is not available.
And for other folks, it makes the vowel sound very different.

Say was Pythagorus a Greek? I think he was.

At first sight it does look out of horizontal, but a careful eye-scan shows that not to be true.

Some folks will chime in and say not precision, but it should get a close answer- like say it should look wide open instead....

Am I to understand that you check the focus with a loupe, but actually focus by calculation and measurement?
What happens if you focus with the ground glass?
You say 'focus shift'. To most folks...
How do you see WIDE?
I can't see very wide, that is photographically, so I backed off.
As they say YMMV. My favorite probly would not be yours
