Actually, the Elmar worked fairly well on my old Valoy.
But the 'big' lenses really sucked!
Bigger problem was cooking negs.

And imagine with me for a minute the number of cracked elements
from heat! My dad was tickled as Elmo when he finally got a
real enlarger lens. Not only did it withstand the heat without
breaking, but the flatfieldness meant that he didn't have to
stop down to F16 to get anything usable.
