I'm currently planning a DIY 8x10 camera and I'm investigating lenses, many of the ones on ebay seem way out my budget (less than £100 ) but there are some enlarging lenses (like a Schneider G-CLARON 240mm f9) - here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schneider-...UAAOSwjDZYbWTW

I plan to use direct positive paper so I guess I can use the lens cap as a shutter with long exposure times.

Would these produce reasonable results? Almost all my LF work is in studio, close ups of flowers and still life. I currently use a Schneider-Kreuznach 105mm 1:4.5 Lens on my 4x5 camera (which I think is also an enlarger lens) and am very happy with the results.
Thanks
Alan
