I have been considering the lamp upgrade that Jensen Optical/Durst Pro had offered at one time. Has anyone here converted their enlarger to this new 1200 watt lamp? If so what are your experiences? Beyond that is there another way to convert this enlarger to a point light source enlarger? Will my current 138S condensors work with a point light source? What is the current URL for Durst Pro/Jensen Optical? Thanks for your help.
I don't think the Jensen light source is only point source. From their marketing literature, it sounds like they put a diffuser globe in the light path to simulate the original lamp bulb shape.
The 138 with the point source option used coated condensers, the 'normal' condensers are not coated.

The home page should be http://www.durst-pro-usa.com, but they've somehow badly mangled it, and none of its links work at the moment. I did some rummaging, and found that you can get into the rest of the site if you go directly to here: http://www.durst-pro-usa.com/index2.html
From there, I suggest you pick the link on the left, labelled "Hobby and Fine Art".
