**Van Gelder Patrick** · 28-Jul-2005, 12:15

Hi all,
I'm using my durst laborator 54 mostly for 4x5" negs. But now i want to enlarge some
35mm negs. I have a Durst neonon 50mm and durst latub. But how do i have to fit / use
the lens and the latub ? Do i have to remove the 150mm lensholder ?
Does manuals for durst laborator 54 still exist ?

All help is welcome , thanks...

Hi

I have a photocopy of the manual and also a parts list. I can make a copy if you like. They are both about 15 double sided 8.5x11 pages. Trade for 100 sheets 8x10 neopan acros?? SNICKER.

No problem. Email me your address and I will post it next week. My lens tubes are called "seimar" which have a threaded ring for the lens. For long focal length lenses (ie 150mm), I have beveled lensboards called "lapla"which attach to the enlarger the same way as the tube.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the Durst 54, but I have used the larger Durst 184 and 1840. The shorter lens should fit in the latub, and the latub replace the 150mm lens and lensboard.

Hope this helps!
