Lens Selection for IC Enlarger

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

I got the bug to use a IC enlarger after a close insection. Since the IC is several generations old, what lens would you recommend which allows the auto focus function?

My current standard is the Nikkor 63mm enlarging lens used for small format.

I have used the Rodenstock Rodagon 50 2.8 for years on my Focomat 1C. I found the El Nikkor too contrasty and the Schneider Componon not quite contrasty enough.
