I believe they had assistants helping them <g> Last year I visited a fellow in San Francisco who has a very nice darkroom setup, using an Omega D5. His enlarger was fitted with a focusing extension, which allowed for easier fine focusing while looking through a grain magnifier, especially when making larger prints. The extension shaft was about a foot long, IIRC. I've not seen this item listed anywhere for the Omega enlarger, but there is a similar item made for the Saunders LPL 4x5 enlarger, which also works with the LPL 670 series machines. Perhaps Frank adapted one of these or had something made specifically for his own use. I believe the Saunders extension shaft is 24" long. IAC, it's a thought.
