My bad! I have the dichroic head on mine.... The diffuser is
just under 12.7 cm in diameter. I would have thought the
condensor source would have a similar sized business end. My
calculator says a full sized 9x9cm slice would require 12.72cm
of coverage.
I often forget that medium format negatives are never as big as
advertised.
I would get full coverage on a negative that was 8.83x8.83cm
with the dichroic head,
