Forgive me for my inexperience with enlargers, but I recently came across a Durst Laborator 1200 enlarger. I had no idea the thing would be 6 feet tall! On the table I have it on it can be extended almost to it's full height, but that is still not enough to create an 8x10 print. I have tried both the 152/151 condensor lenses as shown in my manual as well as the 50/80 combination lens. Neither one produces an image larger than a 3 by 5 index card. Can anyone tell me why this might be? I also have 3 enlarger lenses - all Nikon - an 80mm, a 105mm, and a 135mm. None of the three lenses seem to make a difference in the size of the image.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, my only experience with enlargers has been at my local film institute where the enlargers are maintained for us. Thanks in advance!
