The quality of the enlarging lens that you choose directly affects the quality of your final print, regardless of the technological excellence of your choice of enlarger (or camera for that matter). It really does follow that in our experience you get what you pay for when buying enlarger lenses. So trying to find value for money is very difficult.
Manufacturer's description:
Schneider COMPONON-S enlarging lenses meet or exceed the resolving power of most camera lenses. The six-element, four group design reproduces the finest details with a fair balance of contrast and sharpness. For all intent and purpose, chromatic aberrations have been eliminated. The COMPONON-S is the first choice when image quality can not be compromised. It is a versatile design and may be used to make enlargements in the 2x to 20 magnification range.
The COMPONON-S 50mm, 80mm and 100mm lenses, are mounted in a (BLV-L) Leica mount barrel that features an illuminated aperture, a pre-set aperture to check focus, and a clickstop override for precise expose control.
