As I recall it was designed to be used with a 240mm

I have a Beseler 45VXL with the 8x10 cold light head. It does use the 240mm Beseler lens made for them by Rodenstock which works fine.It is a very sturdy system with plenty of adjustments. Getting it in perfect vertical alignment, as it probably the case with most enlargers, will go a long way towards realizing its optimal results. Unfortunately, I have not use it in about a year and a half as I have been contact printing much of my stuff. Buy used if possible. You will get a much beter deal.
