5x7 enlargers?

[Daniel Unkefer]

I used to have an Eastman Kodak 5x7 autofocus enlarger, with reducing attachment.

Now that's cool. I've never seen an E-3 that looks like that! Precast parts. Nice!

BTW mine has a 190mm Wollensack serial number matched to the decal on the column. So a complete original E-3. Kevin at KHB is helping me do some fine tuning in the near future, he's the Omega expert. I also want to do 13x18cm (I'll make a custom carrier) for my European format cameras. 16x20 is all I need to go to, that's my maximum. Autofocus works perfectly. This thing is fun to use. Plenty of storage underneath as in the original heavy steel welded units. There were rows and rows of them in use at one time.

I bought this from Larry Gebhardt years ago. He ingeniously constructed a 5x7 E-3 LED Light Head, but WOW! does it get hot! And a Graphite diffusion mask with a lot of pencil work on it. I just prefer the Olde E-4 Omegalite, it's the go-to on my 4x5 DII's, the E-3 kinda works the same way just scaled-up.
