Used enlarger lenses for darkroom and macro
Enlarger lenses were made to project a negative sharply onto photographic paper. They are corrected for a flat field and give even sharpness from edge to edge, which makes them a favourite for darkroom printing and for macro photography and film scanning on digital cameras.

Frequently asked questions
Which focal length do I need for my negatives?
Use a 50mm lens for 35mm film, 75mm to 80mm for medium format 6x4.5 and 6x6, and around 105mm for 6x9. A shorter lens than your format needs will not cover the full negative.
Can I use an enlarger lens on a digital camera?
Yes. Most enlarger lenses have an M39 screw thread. With an M39 to M42 adapter and a helicoid or bellows, they become very sharp macro lenses, great for copying slides and scanning film with a mirrorless camera.
Is an f/2.8 enlarger lens better than f/4?
Not necessarily sharper, but an f/2.8 lens gives a brighter image when you focus on the easel. Prints are usually made at f/5.6 to f/8, where both types perform very well.
