Is it possible to use a 60 mm wide angle enlarging lens to print 2-1/4 X 2-1/4
negatives with my Omega B8 enlarger? I'd like to print 16 X 20s and my 80 mm
lens will barely let me do so, with no room for cropping (other than making the
square negative into a horizontal or vertical).
If it can be used, would I use the flat lens board, intended for a 50 mm lens,
or a lens cone (and, if so what size cone)? Would I use the supplementary
condenser intended for a 50 mm lens (and would that condenser cover the larger
negative) or just the normal two condensers?

I'm not sure, but there are two issues here you'll have to figure out:
- Can the 60mm cover the 6x6 neg size?
- Can the belows be racked in enough to focus this lens. I expect this
should be no problem because you can use a 50mm lens on that enlarger.
