Ha, should have read the "liner notes" more carefully! Still, a great look all the way around--I'm still trying to find the best way to get to 1:2.5 with 120 film...I keep being surprised by how that aspect ratio seems to bring a little order to my (mostly) chaotic AO.:)Quote:

Randy, I can't remember if I said this before, but this was printed on my Beseler 45mxt with Reinhold's custom 6x15 holder! I love that I can enlarge these negatives, unlike 617.
No I did not know about Reinhold’s carrier. Looking it up now.
What lens are you using?

Update: Yep, I can print these negatives up to 24" wide with the 150mm, with a bit more left on the enlarger column if I need to crop a bit. And the 135mm works too without cutting into the negative, and gives me over 30" to play with. If I had the ability to print that size, anyway.
Try to find this table used. It ships knocked down. I found one a few years ago. It lets you remove the 4 quick release screws that hold the wood baseboard on.
Then you project your image onto the adjustable lower shelves. Really a cool feature the CB7 does not have.

Gotta figure out how exactly I will set it up. I have my MXT right now in the corner of the darkroom. I want to put the table in the center of the darkroom and build an "island" with more storage and another worktop on it, and move the enlarger there (gotta run some wires over and down as well). Then, I'll install the 45XL I bought earlier this year where the MXT is. Just gotta get the funds and time to put my plan into motion.
Besides which I don't have the money to buy a roll of 42" wide paper right now anyway. But when I do I definitely want to print BIG :).
