    G Clarons as Enlarging Lenses

    Has anyone used G Clarons as enlarging lenses? Comment on performance? I'm particularly interested in the 210 mm f/9 version to enlarge WP/8x10. Any other 210/180 lenses that can do an oustanding job? Thank you...

    In my experience, 240mm-300mm enlarging lenses are much better in that application, with the wider lenses having more fall-off.

    i use a 150 for enlarging 4x5, and can't say anything bad about it.

    You're absolutely right Dan. I plead short term memory loss!!
