I am preparing to buy the EL-Nikkor enlarger lens 5.6/80mm for UV photography, but I have found old models with a black/chrome body with different serial numbers. Serial numbers include 988161, 808005, and 962207 (links included). Are any of these suitable, or is one serial number preferable? Thank you for you help!

Hi Ross,
I would hope these all have identical optical properties! Then again, I haven’t used one myself, so I might not be the best person to answer this. If it were me I would probs go for either of them.
Cheers,
Cedric
