I have a couple questions about my Omega DII:
First, I can’t produce prints smaller than (approx.) 10 inches in either direction with the correct lens. By the correct lens I mean a 50mm for 35mm film, an 80mm for 6x6 film, etc. Reason being, If I move the enlarger head all the way down as far as the track will let me go and I focus the image, it is still about 10 inches in one direction; too large to make an 8x10 print. I’m using flat lens boards for both lenses. Any idea why this is?
Second problem is that the lens cone I have for my 135mm lens doesn’t fit into the enlarger! The person from whom I got it said it was for the Omega D series but it is just slightly larger than the flat lensboard I use for my 50 and 80mm lenses. Maybe this cone was meant for the D3 or larger D series enlargers?
Thanks!
