What did you do with your high end enlarging lenses?

What did you do with your high end enlarging lenses? Oh, after you moved away from wet enlarging.

I bet you had a bunch of them.

Did you mount them for bellows or closeup usage?

Did you mount them with shutters for large format usage?

What else (other than sell them)?

I have my Apo Componon 90 with the bellow as macro and use them on 1DX. Someday can I use the lens on my Hassy. I have not moved away from wet enlarging at all.

You are asking about the future? Why would anyone move away from enlarging unless quitting photography all together

[John Kasaian]

I have only one high end enlarging lens---but it's for a 35mm

Wow. What a bunch of nonsense assumptions.

I have a full set of "high-end" enlarging lenses (Schneider Apo-Componon HM).

I use them to make prints from negatives, in a wet darkroom (one side is wet).

That sound a tad provocative. Did I misunderstand, or is the OP making the rather obtuse assumption that everyone has "moved away from wet printing?"

FYI - there are still people out there who practice and will continue to practice photography in its pure form.

Oh my, yes! Photographs are made in a wet darkroom. Pictures are made the other way.

[Cletus]

Yes, couldn't agree more. "IMAGE CAPTURE" isn't quite the same as "making a photograph", is it?

[Leigh]

Absolutely true.

Many people still practice photography, not mindless button-pushing image capture.

I think the OP is a troll.

To 'assume' -- to make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.

The assumptions made about the OP's choice of words border on assinine.

I made the move away from wet enlarging twenty years ago when I took up wet contact-printing (alt processes). Never owned any enlarging lenses -- always worked at the university's darkroom. But I have put several process lenses to work making images of the light reflecting off the landscape.
