This morning, before reading this thread, I tried out for the first time the 190mm enlarging Raptar I've had for years. I'm using it on 5X7 negatives. Plenty of contrast and razor sharp edge to edge; I don't know what else one could want from an enlarging lens.
Thanks for posting the link to this resource.
