Here me again!
if your friend has a darkroom you are done with the lens, as you can use a
enlarger lens. Of course you need an adapter. Before a friend of this list
sold me a used 50 3.5 I used to use ;-) an OM to 42screw mount adapter and
then a 42 to 39 (fujica) ring. On which setting I used to screw a 50mm or
an 80mm Rodagon lens. Then after setting f/8 I shoot with OTF auto or TTL
flash setting. The only real problem was focusing, of course.
In this way you'll never get any distortion of any kind!
Another way to use the darkroom of your friend is to use the enlarger as a
camera... a difficult task if you don't have either a chassis (a back) for
the enlarger or an ortho emulsion. And you need the lateral lamps, etc...
So this is an advice I *don't* give to anybody.
