Hi,
I've got an old 5x7 DeVere enlarger.
I have a Rodenstock Rodagon 210 Lens, a Wollensak Raptar 7 1/2", 190 mm Lens, a Rodagon 80mm Lens and a Meopta Meogon 50mm Lens.
I do wet plate 24cm x 24cm (9 1/2 inch) glass negs, 5x4 standard LF film and 6cm x 6cm medium format film.
My problems are as follows:
With the wet plate I have the corners cut off by the 210 and 190 lenses. What lens do i need to get those corners covered?
With 5x4 the maximum image i can make with fully extended head is 50x40cm (19x15"). The baseboard cannot be flipped down.
I suspect that the largest medium format image i will be able to make will be Tiny.
The smaller lenses do not focus at all. Maybe they are not enlarger lenses?
Do i need a different Lens for the medium format?
Or is this an enlarger strictly dedicated to 5x7? So i have to buy a 5x7 camera?
Thanks,
Mark
