I just picked up a fine Beseler 23CII condenser enlarger to complement the dichro head model that I have. There's an adjustment on it that allows the condenser to be moved up and down relative to the negative, and it's marked for different formats - 8/16/35mms and 110; 2�x2�, etc. Essentially it's self explanatory, but I do have a question: if a longer lens, such as an 80mm is used instead of a normal 50mm lens for 35mm work, should the condenser be moved to the 2�x2� position?
There's a drawer above the condenser that looks like it's for VC filters, or for heat absorbing glass. Is that correct, or is there another purpose for that drawer? Man, it's a neat machine! -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
