    Re: Model name of your large format enlarger please

    I have 2 Omega D2's one with a color head, the other has a variable condenser head as well as a Omegalite diffused head.
    Parts are plentiful for these old work horses at great prices, easy to maintain, I worked with Omega enlargers when
    I did lith work for an optical effects studio eons ago so they were familiar to me .
    When I decided to set up a dark room they were the first ones I turned to.
    .... and they can be used as a bomb sight !
    Still chuckling over that.

    Omega D2 condenser, Omega D3 dichro, Beseler 23c2 dichro (for contacts and small negs). My D3 was the first enlarger I printed ciba-chromes on and got it from the instructor...24 years ago!

    I recently bought a Beseler 45 I've not made the first enlargement with it yet, but I like that lens boards for it are simple squares and that it has provision to project on the wall if I want to very big prints and it looks relatively simple to mount different light sources---I hope to eventually make a 5x7 or even 8x10 diffusion source heads for it. The Omegas have good reputations but look harder to modify.

    My LF enlarger is a mutant so my wife named it Flattery because it gets me nowhere.

    Beseler 45.

    Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.

    I'm in Durst here: Durst 138 (5x7) and Durst 184 (8x10) but also a Beseler 45.
    If your small village is London UK, look for DeVere enlargers, also for Ilford 500 VC head system. It should be easy to found.
