I use an 80mm and it seems fine. A little bigger is good, too.

Has anyone fooled around with enlarging lenses for medium format
macro? I recently picked-up 50mm and 80mm 6-element Nikkor enlarging
lenses and I wonder whether its worth the trouble to adapt them to my
Rolleiflex SL66?
Do they cover 6x6? If so, any idea of which f/stop and amount of
extension required for coverage? I'm just trying to get a ballpark
number to see if they fall into a useful magnification range for me.
I wonder how sharp they will be? The 80/2.8 Planar seems to perform
pretty well but I think the 50/4 Distagon suffers in the macro range
from being a retrofocus design. I don't own one but the 120/5.6
S-Planar is just too long to consider for some of the higher
magnification work I do.
I haven't got the enlarging lenses yet (still in the mail). I assume
they are LTM in which case I can rig up something to mount them. A
blank SL66 lens board from Hadley Chamberlain and a junked Soviet LTM
lens mount ought to do the trick.
Any guidance somebody can provide that has been down this road?
