Subject: [Leica] Focotar Enlarging lenses

Greetings:

Last month a couple LUG members responded to my question on the best
enlarging lens to match Leica quality.  Some of the feedback referenced
Leica lenses: Focotar and Focotar-2.  I have looked through old catalogs and
data without much reference to either.  Could someone tell me when they were
manufactured?  DIfferences between the Focotar and Focotar-2?  What focal
lengths were available?  For color, would I be better off with an APO if my
enlargements typically don't exceed 10X?
Thanks for your help.
