I am thinking about purchasing a Zone VI Type enlarger. I plan to purchase a Be seler Universal 45 head for colour work. However, I should like to be able to s hoot 5X7 colour film and print it if I wish.

Can anybody suggest a way of adapting the head so that it projects a wide enough cone to cover the 5X7 without appreciable vignetting? Has anybody tried it? I t has been suggested to me that I use a 'thick' enough styrofoam panel to elevat e the head. I am looking for a neater and more elegant solution. Don't wish to deal with sticky crumbs of styrofoam on my negatives.

Does anyone know whether Red Light Enteprises which makes the Metrolux timer is still in the biz?

Thanks.

Erik
