I have a beseler 8X10 converted and a chromega F head. It is easy to adapt the head to the enlarger but it is WAY too heavy (or the beseler chassis is WAY too light) to be of any use.-
Find yourself...

Hi there. Anyone can help? How does the diaphram work on Luminars? I just got a 63 and a 40mm 1:4.5.-
Does it mean that the position indicated on the barrel as 1 equals F4.5, 2 F5.6, 3 F8 and so on?...

Hi David,

Hi David, hi Bob.
Attached a pic of the macro board. I hope you can see it.-
Anyway, it is a black board (and cone) fitted with a COPAL 0.0 shutter which I thouhgt would have allowed me to use...

Dear All,
intererested in doing some macro work I jus got a linhof macro board with a copal 00 shutter from Ebay. And now?
Can anyone help me with the lenses I should use with it? I do have a...

You will have good fun.
The jobo processors are very easy to use and colour printing (once you have the temperature under control) is maybe easier than BW.-
Let us know....

anywhere you are in tuscany you will not regret having your camera with you.
between florence and siena you will find thousands (yes, thousands) of nice, genuine, "well preserved" (whatever it...

The APO SIRONAR S is a wonderful little lens. Smaller and, in my opinion, sharper then Symmars.
Both lenses will surely make you happy. But I would go with the Rodenstock.
I would not trade mt...

Hi,

it is more difficult to explain then to do it. On the very right side of the head you should see a bracket which is held in place by a spring mechanism. You must re-align the filters and let...

in the meantime the pictograph has arrived! I have to say I am impressed with this machine.
Within one hour I can now make prints in a quality it would have taken me days to achieve.
It is...

After a few BAD experiences with still very highly appreciated LF products manufacturers (if you like, please read my previous posts. NONE of the problems described there, although recognized as...

Don't make mistakes (as I did!!!). Get yourself a Durst. There is nothing comparable in the market. Not even near.

Thank you everyone. It is almost 0.30 am here in Italy so I 'd better clean up everything and keep on doing my trials again tomorrow.
I also still have to solve the "contrast" problem.....
Going...

Hi Andrew,
the negative is right under the light source. I will try to put it even nearer now.
According to most, the 210mm el nikkor should cover 8x10.
Surely should the 240 Rodagon, but still...

I hope I am not pestering everyone with my questions but I am really lost now!!!!
I have just started my trials with my brand new 8x10 enlarging equipment.
After reading a lot on this arugument...

Brian, I do see greenish light at low contrast sets. It gets bluer as I increase the contrast.
I will immediately try with a (brand) new paper and let you know.
In the meantime...., thank you.

Thank you Will, thank you Robert.
I checked all the contacts and plagues. Everything seems to work fine. The green light stays on and I do see a changement in light cast as I crank the contrast. I...

Please please help.

I just mounted a brand new aristo vcl8100 on my beseler 810 and I am not really able to use it.
I tried my first prints (from well known negatives) and they look AWFUL.
If...

Thank you for your help. That pinhole Designer Freeware is just GREAT.
Grazie

Since I will have my first PINHOLE experience next weekend I thought the "beginners" was the best place to ask my simple question:
how do you figure out the correct exposure time when you are...

Does anybody know if a Chromega F would fit in the Beseler 8x10 Conversion kit?
I have been once recommended to do so to have a "low" 8x10 color enlarger, but I was wondering if anyone here ever...

thank you all for the answers.

Clemens, how did you let the lens fit the lens board and the lens stage? Could you please, somehow, let me know? did you have to drill the netire thing?
Thank you...

it looks to me like 50mm is the maximum the enlarger is designed for. The 240mm rodagon lens has a much bigger mount size (I think 72mm).

The enlarger I have is the VXL and I am waiting for the...

Anyone knows how to fit a lens with a mount size bigger than 50mm on the Beseler enlarger? Has anyone done that? If yes, could you send me picture/designs or advices? I have a rodagon 240mm I would...

Justus, I ment "does it mean the head does not COVER the full format"?

I am very worried because the main reason I wanted to get this system is its low height and I thought that, in this case a...

Thank you Bob, and thank you Justus.-

Bob, I am currently using a JOBO Colour 7000 as timer/analyser. Will it still work with the additivie system?

Justus, what do you mean with substantial...

Hi everyone,

I am seriously thinking about getting a Beseler 8x10 conversion kit and a equip the enlarger with an ARISTO VCL8100 RGB head to do colour printing as well.

Has anyone of ever tried...
