What enlarger?

[pergorm]

Hi!!

I use a Durst L1200 enlarger. Very sturdy and easy to work with. I have the VLS-501 head and the condensor head. Having worked with both in the past, i now only use the condensor haed. Working only in 4x5.

I use an Omega D-6 Pro Lab with variable condensor head for 4x5, and choose between Kodak and Ilford MG filters(there is a slight difference).

4x5 DeJur Versatile Professional with an El Nikkor f/5.6 135mm lens to replace the original DeJur (which was satisfactory for my needs). Good Sturdy enlargers were available 65 years ago! A chimney improvised from a recessed lighting fixture correctly positions a negative carrier made of Masonite when used for 35mm.

I use a De Vere 504 floor model with auto focus table and an ESCO pro 45 color head. Very nice as it will analize with a probe and adjust filters for color also works nice for b&w if you take control of the filters in manual mode. By far the best enlarger I have ever used.

Usually none -- contact printing using UV light sources.

But when I was enlarging we had Omega D5-XL's (condenser) and 135mm/5.6 lens.

I use the electronic Omega D5500 enlargers for 4x5 but I recommend the all mechanical Omega D5 with Chromega II head, only because I'm familiar with that one and can help my friends set it up.

I use Durst for 8x10 but only because it was local. If I had found a Fotar, Omega, DeVere or other 8x10 I would be using that.

Up to 4x5 I use an omega d5xl pro lab and for 8x10 I use a fotar with a super chromega dichro ii. I am happy with them both as well as a nuarc for alt stuff.
