Yes, that was me. Nikon's specification for the 120mm at 1:1 and an f/22 aperture was coverage of 250mm. That trails off rapidly with increasing magnification in enlarging applications; even 1.75X taxes it to the limit. I'd not go much beyond 1.5X from 4x5 negatives.
The 210mm is specified to cover 400mm at 1:1 and an aperture of f/22. Thought of proportionally to my 4x5 experience with the 120, it would not likely be usable for much above 1.25X from 8x10 negatives.
