I've got a D5-XL. I think the "V" refers to the variable condensor
head. The XL is the tall chassis. I use Rodenstock lenses on mine
without problems. Bob from HP Marketing is correct, the 50mm won't
work with the 3 lens turret. My 50mm Rodenstock works fine without
the turret, just a flat lens board and mount.

Yah some lenses have too much flange distance,...to rotate the turret or
focus when on it. That used to bum people out all the time, and they
would get rather mad, after buying new lenses for their new enlargers.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918
