If used enlarger lenses are inexpensive it occurred to me that it might
be useful to have a long focal length enlarger lens to add to the small
stable of 50 and 90mm macros. I thought it might be useful as a copy
lens for greater working distance.
But then I wondered if any of these long lenses are really up to the
task. It has been rumored that some 35mm Canyon lenses are not up to
the resolution demands required by the pixel density of the 5D and other
full frame digitals. Furthermore, MF lenses don't need to be designed
with resolving power equivalent to 35mm lenses so what's the chance that
an MF enlarging lens will resolve 13MP on a 35mm size frame let alone
the higher pixel density of smaller sensor cameras?
