I had never seen this before, but the e-bay ad below shows a DeVere 8x10 with a well built special stand to flip the whole column horizontally. (rather than rotate the head like a Durst).

Old Elwoods do that.
The Beseler 45MX does something like that. The head tilts but not the whole column.
I always found it easier just to rotate the easel.

a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
[QUOTE=Brian C. Miller;610842]Omega has another variant: place a mirror just under the lens. I have that attachment for my enlarger.
Brian,
Have you used it? How does that work out for you? Any issues w/mirror scratches or defects? I've seen a mirror for what I think was the D series Omega on eBay a while back but I don't think it would have fit my F1. If I could find the correct mirror I'd jump on it - seems like an inexpensive means to horizontal enlarging.

Any front surface mirror should work. Maybe one from an old TLR?

- Hmm. And I've got a couple old Mamiya TLR's stashed somewhere. I suppose a perfect 45 degree orientation is critical to avoid stretching the image though a pivoting mount would let you adjust the image til it looked right. Sounds like another project.
