Enlarging lens on a screw camera

[georges_h]

Hi all,
For my first post on this forum, a question:
Is it possible to use an enlarging lens on a Barnack? I have a varob, 50mm f/3,5, coming from an old Focomat. A formula of Elmar 3,5.Of course, no possibility to focuse on the subject. When I compare a collapsible Elmar ( on infinity ) and this varob, they seem to have the same length. For landscapes, or urban views, do you think that's possible?
Thanks.

Thanks, Rmarv, I think I can only use this varob on a Visoflex, as a head of 90 mm or of 135 mm, or with a below.

Thanks, Zapman, with a Viso, it seems to be a good choice. I try assoon as possible
