I always thought condensors would give more contrasty,
granier and therefore apparently sharper images. Was
ou B22 properly aligned? Did you use the same lens?
The sharper more contrasty result might be due to a
new lens. I noticed this when traded my El Omegar for
a multicoated Nikor. It's a shame Pentax does not
produce enlarger lens :)
