    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Yeah, I'm on hunt for the larger lens (150mm most likely) as well as tracking a couple of cones on e-bay. If I don't get one of those, I'll try the pvc idea. Thanks.

    Funny, since I'm also trying...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    You have all been a great help. I have secured a 4x5 neg carrier, and a thank you to John Jarosz who is sending me a 6x7. Have a 50mm lens for it but keep getting outbid on the 80's:eek: Oh well,...

    Re: 1907 Seneca Black Beauty

    This does in fact take standard 4x5 holders. Your input gave me badly-needed direction. A special shout-out to Don Bryant for taking the time to sit with me and give the camera a look-over and for...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Oh boy . . . just answered my own question. I now see 5 lens boards for the D2 on e-bay, all with different openings.

    Most lenses on e-bay don't list this dimension. Do I just buy one then look...

    Re: 1907 Seneca Black Beauty

    The springs had, in fact, been jammed. I was hesitant to "persuade" too strongly, but once you said that (Peter Gomena) I tried again. It looks like it will handle a holder just fine (pardon the...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Thank you all! John Jarosz, I will message you tomorrow (midnight here). To Cyrus and Heroique, the tip on an 80mm lens is helpful since I'm scouting several of those on e-bay right now.

    Which...

    Re: 1907 Seneca Black Beauty

    Sadly I can't post a digital picture, but here's what I've got: There's a door on the back with a latch to expose the ground glass. On the side, the slot for the plate is spring-loaded so it can...

    1907 Seneca Black Beauty

    I have been restoring this glass-plate camera (4x5), and it now seems functional. This will be my first foray into large format . . . once I figure out one more thing. The slot on the cameras slide...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Thanks for the tip Brian. That'll save me some $ for now to put toward lenses, which will have me operable sooner. (Plus, I enjoy oddball projects like that.)

    4x5 Seneca Black Beauty

    I just bought this glass plate camera. Bellows are in great shape, and I have gotten the cameras mechanical movements (rise/fall, tilt, and side-to-side) working smoothly. Camera was crusted tight...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Yes, that was it. Feel a little bit stupid for not investigating more carefully, but this seems a safe place to risk stupidity for the sake of understanding. Say, if I have trouble tracking down...

    Thanks again Micheal (your second post was on next page and i didn't see before my response). Thank you for the word about the cone, and for the specific lens sizes for each format. This forum is...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Thanks Micheal. The diagram does indeed show the removal of condenser for largest lens. Though, there is still a diagram and corresponding slot into which this condenser does not fit, for the 135mm...

    Re: Omega D2 enlarger

    Hi Graybeard. Your question made me realize how much i have to learn. I thought the "variable" part referred to the set positions, since there is only one condenser in the compartment. It will fit...

    I am setting up a darkroom and have an omega d2. It does not have a lens or lens board, and i have no negative carriers. I shoot both 35mm and 120 with a tlr. I also just picked up a 4x5 glass...
