If you stay with a 40mm lens, you should preserve auto-focus. I have the Leitz 2.8/40 WA-Focotar. Erwin tested this head-to-head with the 2.8/40 Schneider APO-Componon and opined that the APO-Componon is a significantly finer enlarging lens. JSK makes two 40mm APO-Componon, the f/2.8 model Erwin uses and the much rarer 4/40 model which is supposed to be better yet, though slower. I have not yet found an inexpensive used 40mm APO-Componon but plan on swapping one of these for the WA-Focotar when I do locate such.
