Durst Laborator 1000 with Taufarb

[lungovw]

Hello,

I use a Laborator 1000 with condenser and not having the Taufil (drawer for VC filters before the lens) I was thinking of a colour head. Something like CLS 450 with all the mixing boxes is hard to find as a set and cost more than I would pay just to avoid putting the VC filters under the lens. Then I saw the Taufarb on ebay! Looks like something that will replace the mirror in the condenser head. Does anybody know how it works? Is that just a filter? Does it have a bulb inside? Iss that usable? I added the picture.

Thanks for any input.

Hello Wagner,

I was the seller of that taufarb. It is completely useless for 4x5 as you can use it only for smaller formats. I own a laborator 1000 as well and I place my ilford vc filters directly on the upper condenser. You just need some tape and cardboard to get the filters in place.
