> Is there an optical solution to the focus problem?
The short answer is: no.
I think we all start out with a not-very-well-thought-through faith in
symmetry which has us convinced that anything which can be done can
somehow be undone by reversing the process.
It doesn't take too much experimenting to shatter the focus delusion.
You quickly find that the enlarger can make the image even more *out* of
focus, but there is no purely optical way to make the image more *in*
focus than it is on the negative. Not even with all the king's horses
and all the king's men :-)
