    Coldlight set on 5x7 Elwood

    I my Zone VI coldlight attached to the old attachment disk from the original lightbulb housing. I was getting a lot of light fall off on the long edges and figured it could only be that the coldlight was too far from the negative.

    I chiseled the disk off and made a couple of custom pieces to get the diffuser much closer to the negative.

    Here are some pics.

    I am glad I have a wooden enlarger, because I would never attempt this in metal.

    Now, I need to test it to see if it fixed the light fall off problem.
