:) like I asked, will appreciate for any sort of information on mentioned Tschechoslovak enlarger gear.
Is / was it popular, what lenses does it swollow, thread diameter etc..

thanks sooo much:)

[Jimi]

It was made by Meopta, it is a condenser enlarger. Not sure what thread diameter it takes but not M39 it seems. In this thread there is a photo of one:

That is beautiful. So, for those of us on this side of the Atlantic that would be 5x7" right?

I am trying to help a family find a good home for a Magnitarius meopta now in Stockholm. It belonged to a long-time professional who died and they are family members.

I have photos. There are two tops or heads - one taller than the other. There are large stainless steele vats,, two lenses, etc.

If you have advice or personal interest, please contact me off-list at barrydbowen@yahoo.com.
