I'd be interested in seeing your Alice pack mod. I have an Alice pack that I don't know what to do with since it's really too heavy for backpacking.
Unrelated question -- when you load your film, do you push it beyond the bar? I didn't, and rotating it the wrong way caused the film to pull itself partway out. Pushing it beyond the bar keeps it...
I happen to have beeswax laying around for creating paper negatives. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, all. Some good suggestions. I do have access to a compressor. I'll try blasting it first, then the taped upholstery attachment.
I bought some film holders (either from here or eBay, I can't recall) and one of them must have been used on a beach shoot because it's full of fine white sand. Before I trash it, I was wondering if...
I used mine for the first time last weekend, and I also noticed the slight rusting when I broke it out this week. I'm not sure from the translation if a replacement part is available for purchase or...
I actually did that myself when I was about 15. For some reason I assumed it would be more involved with what I assumed was probably glass negatives. I put mine and my friend's face over kirk and...
It was an early version. But seriously, how did they do it? Masking? Cutting negs apart?
I thought this was a pretty entertaining article, so figured I'd share.

This might be a dumb question, but could you put one of these on your enlarger to correct for edge/corner falloff?
What size?
Interesting! I may have to pick some of that paper up, just for fun. I've already got the LED parts, (thanks to Jerry Bodine's shopping list, and his very much appreciated assistance) and I'm...
Grade 2 or 3? I wasn't sure since it was made for Bromide paper, whatever that is...I read a little about it, but only enough to know you can't get it anymore.
Thanks. I emailed them a while back about an Aristo replacement for my D2 cold head but never got a response. One thing I was thinking might work (If I could figure out how to get the correct color...
I assume that would require a yellow filter too? I didn't think you could get Aristo bulbs like the V54 any longer.
I have a set of replacement bulbs. From what I can tell, the size bulb might still exist, but it's going to be something other than "blue" which is what these are stamped. There is an under the...
Ah, thank you for pointing that out. I was reading and replying on my phone, and I missed your link. I think I might be able to do something similar - I don't have the saucer but I do have a wood...
It's interesting that it mentions incandescent lamp replacements but I've never seen incandescent lamps that had the prong ends like these fluorescent lamps that are in there now. I'll have to...
Well...I bought it. I am thinking I'm going to need to convert this head to LED or something, because these bulbs are blue. Like sky blue. The reference manual mentions bromide paper, so I guess...
This is with the light on - you can see it's flat and square. Its about two hours away so I'm just trying to figure out what it's worth before I make the trip.

What light source do you use on yours?
I moved this to its own thread, hoping to find someone who might know about this particular enlarger. I recently stumbled on one of these called the Omega NE -- supposedly made for the Army,...
Emil, can you explain the differences between the shots? Love the last one, btw.
Thats a great idea! Thanks! I have a board being made now to 1" but your idea will allow me to shim it as needed.
Hi Kent - I'm trying to determine for Keith the "working extension" of the bellows, but my Korona doesn't have the rear rail attachment. Do either of yours? I'm trying to get that max measurement...
OK so same as mine then. Thanks

Does your camera bellows really go over the rear frame? Mine is tacked inside the rear frame.
I'm dumb and I cut it up a bit....but I got a price from Keith and for 189 bucks US plus shipping he will do the job. So I'm toying with saving myself the aggravation.
So..to reopen this thread...my wife got me a new bellows on Ebay from china, I believe. It looks well-made, and it says it's for a Korona 5x7, however as it sits, the front of the bellows is too...
Yeah, you're not wrong there. It's an interesting antique. I am still not sure the fine focus adjustment isn't just screwing the lens in and out of the lens board, but that's about the only method on...
Well the thing with this one is that the base has to be an exact thickness since there is no focus other than the autofocus cam. No fine focus on this guy. There is a base that is basically a cast...
A while back I got an Eastman Auto-focus 5x7 enlarger and I'm trying to find out the thickness of the original baseplate since mine is missing. Does anyone know? I did a search here, but came up...
Probably a dumb question, but are you sure your lens elements are in the correct order?
looks like 5x5 but will handle 5x7. For 200 bucks I'm thinking of taking a chance on it.
Has anyone here heard of an Omega EN enlarger? I'm told it was used for aviation film and can do 5x7. Apparently has a florescent cold head that stays on all the time and a shutter to time the...
This explains it nicely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjNyTtW-6K8
It was completely out of control on Marginal Way in Maine - so much so that they outlawed it. Rightfully so, in my opinion.
Here's a little YashicaMAT shot from Bearpen Mountain in the...
