I don't know about your enlarger but you can do a quick check. Take your
current lens and measure it's rear. If it's 39mm then you can use any modern
lens you might want to. If it's smaller then you might be able to change your
mount to a 39mm. I think almost all the smaller enlarger lens today are leica
39mm mounts. Only the larger ones [over 105mm usually] or some of the older
ones aren't.
