Stacked and sharpened?
Anyone interested is seeing some results from Tominon lenses (not mine) should check out:

I have and use the 12cm Macro Nikkor that was developed for the Multiphot. This lens was optimized for flat field photography and magnifications from 1.2x - 4x. It is my understanding that the 120mm Macro-Nikkor AM-ED is not a newer version of the Multiphot lens but was optimized specifically for 1:1 photography. I doubt if you would be able to tell one optic from the other from 4x5 Chromes shot at 1:1.
I absolutely love my 150mm F9 Apo Ronars. So much so that own three of them. One on a Sinar Norma board, one on a Plaubel Makiflex board, and a third one (in original correct vintage Compur Shutter) as was offered in the Plaubel Junior line.

Plaubel Peco Junior 6.5x9cm view camera, with homemade Digital Back. Rodenstock 150mm F9 Apo Ronar at F11. A tiny GEM of a lens. Sony Nex C3 Body JBWelded to a Plaubel Peco Junior Lensboard with #00 hole, as a Poor Man's Digital Back. Works great and much fun, can max out camera movements with this. No need for Polaroid with this

I just found this Yellow Filter and Lens Hood for the 150mm F9. Been wanting something for a while, this matchup is a perfect fit. I'm very pleased.

From what I have read, the latest 120 was optimized for 1:1 - 5:1, though I generally used it at 1:1. I agree that it would be hard to tell images from either lens apart. From this series I had a 4x6 ft enlargement made, the folks who did it for me said it was one of the sharpest images they had ever enlarged.
