Zoerk recommend Rodenstock and I have had good results using an older
Rodagon 105mm/5.6 (on a Spotmatic with a cheap M42 manual bellows!
Supercheap rig). One advantage of the older Rodagon is that it takes a 49mm
filter while few enlarging lenses do. You may need a focussing stage
though, because fine focussing while maintaining composition is, to put it
mildly, a bugger!
