I have a question re: preference of 2 enlarging lenses I posses. I know the ans wer to my question is "test, test, test". However, I would like to know others' reference points or comments.

The first lens is one I purchased originally long ago--a newbie to large format- -it is a Rodenstock Omegaron, 1:4.5 f135mm.

The 2nd lens is one I had readjusted & was given to me--it is as follows--Schnei der Kreuznach componon 1:5.6 150mm #7278571.

the question is which one is the better lens???????a foolish question but one wh ich is valid to me and the answer is test test test---

your comments please.

What is the history of the Schneider lens?????????
