Looking to buy a Beseler 90mm enlarger lens w or w/o the

board for the 67 head.
Regards,

Try rec.photo.marketplace.darkroom. WTB and FS should not
be posted to the discussion groups.
AFAIK, Besler did not make any lenses although they may
have marketed someone elses lenses under their name. If you
do not want to buy a new lens check out used top of the line
lenses by Schneider, Rodenstock, and Nikor, all are
excellent. Older Schneider Componon lenses are reasonably
plentiful used, even the very old chrome barrel ones are
very good lenses although not quite up to the best of
current lenses. Most of the more recent enlarger lenses of
50 to about 100mm FL fit Leica thread. Lensboards for
current enlargers are available with the the correct thread.
You should be able to find one for your Besler.
