Is this enlarging lens [Schneider-Kreuznach Componar enlarging lens] good for anything besides a paper weight- other than in an enlarger?

| Componar is Schneider's lowest and least line of enlarging lenses. It might work well enough as a macro lens at magnifications no higher than 1:1. |

It would probably be an exceptionally good viewing loupe, especially if it was perhaps 80mm or more. I'm using a 105 Fuji for that purpose, which humiliates a magnificent lens but is better than paperweight status.
