Testing the Schneider Krausnach 150mm f5.6 lens

I’d read that if one is using an enlarger lens on a camera (with bellows) one should reverse the orientation so that the “front of the lens should face the “film” so it is like it fits in an enlarger.

Well, I tried this as I have a 49mm reversing ring and here are the 100% blow up results: (Nothing done to the picture, 40D focused in live view)

Enlarger orientation:



camera orentation:




Just the opposite to what I read. The image quality is far better with the lens oriented like a camera lens.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Jules
