65mm Grandagon for color enlarging

[Drew Wiley]

Rodagon G is corrected for high levels of magnification.

No, among other problems, listed above, you would be into diffraction at 22. Get an enlarging lens. The 60mm Rodagon-WA covers 6x7 as do all Rodagon and Apo Rodagon-N 80mm lenses.

...although a 90 would be OK.
What I actually use, however, is a 150 Apo-Rodagon.

Drew,

I have been thinking about doing something similar for 6x7. I have a great Schneider Apo-Componon 90mm lens which is quite sharp, but the working distance for 8x10 prints is too close for comfort at times. I have a 150 mm Rodagon, 135 mm Nikkor, and a 150 mm Apo-Componon which I could use as alternative. Are there any drawbacks to using the longer lenses to get more "working distance" for dodging and burning?

W K,

Do you think the evenness of illumination would still be a problem with the
105mm Rodagon-G lens? Is it much more pronounced on colour print this large
than in a black & white print on 30x40" graded FB paper?

This length lens should cause no illumination problems.
