Do darkroom enlarger lenses really matter?' This question tugged at my curiosity, prompting me to delve into a comprehensive exploration by collecting five different lenses and putting them to the test with numerous paper prints. Among the selection, the 50mm enlarger lenses showcased remarkable consistency, yielding impressive print quality despite variations in sharpness. On the contrary, the 75mm lenses revealed a stark contrast, with the Spiratone lens displaying disappointing blurriness, leaving prints looking less than ideal. Notably, the Rodenstock lenses emerged as a reliable choice, delivering satisfying results. My Beseler 50mm lens astounded with its razor-sharp clarity, extending to every corner of the prints, a true testament to its optical prowess. While my industar lens may not have ranked as the sharpest, it exuded a unique charm akin to the renowned helios lenses, best appreciated in prints rather than scanned images, lending a natural, slightly blurry out-of-focus appeal distinct from the grainy aesthetic of other lenses. To all the dedicated readers who followed this journey through the intricacies of darkroom enlarger lenses, your curiosity and engagement are highly valued and deserve immense appreciation.
