Hi Shel,
    The answer is yes. The goal is to adjust the condenser such that the
point on the light is the centre of the lens. I use the 50, 80 and 105
lenses with mine and they correspond to the 3 format settings.

Subject: Questions for Beseler 23CII Users


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!
