Hi all,
So I'm setting up a Chromega F Dichroic for 8x10 printing, and I have it mounted on a Fotar Chassis. One thing I've noticed: typically on enlargers, there is a lever which lifts the light house off the negative stage so that you can insert the negative, but here, I have to push the light house up with one hand, and insert the negative with the other. The light house isn't completely secure because of this (there is a high potential that it will fall off completely), and there are 2 screw holes on either side which I assume is for securing it in place just enough so that it won't completely fall off the chassis when inserting a negative. Is this typical or am I missing something? Also, when aligning the enlarger, my plan was to focus on adjusting the base board rather than the lens and negative stage, as I believe there isn't a way to adjust the lens or negative stage with without great difficulty. I have one of the Versalab Parallel Alignment laser levels, which will make it a lot easier to get precise alignment. Does anyone have experience aligning a Fotar chassis?
Any help much appreciated! Thank you!
