[LargeFormat] Need recommendations for a 4X5 enlarger lens

[Joseph O'Neil]

         I had one of those and i am sorry I got rid of it.  Modern 
coatings are much superior on newer lenses, but all things considered, it's 
not a bad lens at all.  as for new lenses, i use Componon-S form 
Schneider.  Not sure if they are the "best" or not, but I do like them 
overall in every way.
