I'm thinking to upgrade my enlarging lenses to Apo Rodagons. Currently I work with Componons (50 and 80) and El Nikor (50). Does anyone have experience with the Apo Rodagons? Is it worth going the extra $$ for an Apo lens? My reason for going there would be critical sharpness in B/W. Meanwhile enjoy the Holidays!
