Most 6 element 80mm lenses should be OK at 5.6 or 8 since you will be only using the center for a 35mm enlargement.
I'm confused, do you have both the Chromega E and D heads? Either way, by going with the smaller mixing box (D-B or E-B) you will get a shorter exposure time.
IC - sorry, I had a wrong memory here - it is a E Dichroic II - and its mounted on the Durst directly above the neg. carrier, so no changing of the mixing box is possibel - or is there. They are relatively rare in Germany anyway, so I bet finding one over here is rather tricky.
Wow, get to know your enlarger: IC's coment about different mixing boxes still in my backhead I opened the flap on the front -which was a bit stuck- and voilá: a E-E mixing box appeared. So a smaller mixing box would be apropriate I guess.... ideally the one for 6X7. Is that E-B ?
Ok. that Durst is a hell of a diva! She needs a new pair of erhh accessorys every now and then to keep her happy... Lets do some shopping then: she needs either, to become a queen of 35mm:
The LAPLA 58 (which maybe Gandolfi wants to part with?) and
a smaller mixing box (to work conviently on 6/7 and 35mm)
or a decent 80mm (mine is soso)
with a mixing box...
Anybody wants to sell me Durst parts? I think I want to dress this old lady beautifull.
thanks for all your help!
Are you aware that the Tripla will not turn when the Latub is placed ?
Here a picture of 2 different Latub's
The Latub K, the larger one, is a PITA to use. For adjusting the diaphragm you need long slender fingers.
If you had a cls1000 head I would be able to provide the mixing boxes.
right - mine looks like the one on the right...Originally Posted by gary mulder
The TRIPLA won't turn with any of the recessed lens boards we've been discussing.
The SEIMAR is also too deep to let you change the aperture with the lens mounted. Another reason to use an 80mm lens...
Roger,
Truth be told, I would think a V35 will be cheaper than assembling all the missing parts to bring the Durst on line for 35mm.
The Durst is such a wonderful piece of engineering, but.....
The price of a Leica V35 is so low these days, the performance so high, the speed of use is wonderful.
If you can afford the space,
The V35 with a color head is great addition to the darkroom if you shoot 35mm.
Just a thought.
LENON and LEROD to turn the aperture ring.

300$ + 30% shipping & customs is a lot off cash. Here in Europe that is enough to buy a leitz V35 ore a durst 138 with cls1000. Six months ago I got a 138 just for spare parts fore less. Some extensions from this machine are now happy hanging in the US
