Meopta Opemus 5

**papergiraffe** · 12-Jan-2009, 22:07

My buddy gave me a Meopta Opemus 5 today to get my collection of dark room supplies started. I am new to developing and printing so I was curious if this enlarger is any good? If so, what size can I enlarge a 4x5 neg to?

Thanks

I hate to give you bad news, but as far as I know the Opemus goes up to 6x6cm. It's not a large format enlarger.

Meopta represents an excellent value in enlargers. But as Vlad said, yours will not handle a neg as large as a 4x5.
