How to attach Omega lens to Omega B66 enlarger

**durr3** · 2-Oct-2014, 08:21

How do I attach my Omega 5mm enlarging lens to my recently found B66 enlarger. I have what looks like a retainer ring that fits the lens, but I don't see how to attach it to the enlarger. HELP PLEASE

Thanks

Are you missing the lensboard? It's round, black stamped metal with a hole for the lens.

I have the same problem. I just got a very nice B66 with no lens. However, I have an Omegar 50mm f3.5 enlarging lens and a lens board. The lens fits the lens board, but I cannot figure out how to mount the lens board to the enlarger. Anybody have a picture to show me? thanks

B66 does not enlarge large format negatives.

I know, but it is supposed to enlarge 35mm, 645 and 6x6, right?
I still need to know how to attach the lens to the enlarger. thanks

It sounds like you are missing a lens board. Lens can screw directly into a threaded lens board, or use a "jam nut" to mount to an unthreaded board.
The lens board would attach to the lens stage of the enlarger with 2 (knurled head) bolts.
