First, thanks to all who helped with tips.
Yesterday I tried to clean the screen.
First, removed it, and to my surprise discovered the dirt was not in the

numbers are printed, the one between the screen and the prism.

Yes ... I'm looking in many venues. Many of the carriers on eBay are
the newer design, or for a different enlarger.
I found a guy who's selling a "35mm carrier" for the 23C series, but his
description is quite vague, and he offers no photos. Believe it or not,
he doesn't know the model number (

The older model for the 23C is aluminum, but it's more than 50% heavier
than the new models, and the aluminum is thicker. It's also designed a

Popular Photography changed the SQF system recently and scores from past
tests are not comparable with the new system - I don't remember when the 35
f2 was tested, but I think that the scores from it and the 31 LTD are on
two different scales. The new system was meant to be more stringent.

Ann,
If it's the Tamron Adaptall SP Macro Close Focus 70-210 f/3.5 with a 62mm
filter ring, grab it. Introduced 1984, it's the only non f/2.8 zoom that
may be sharper than the Pentax 70-210/4 PKA. It's an all-metal pro-quality
lens. You can see and appreciate the difference in speed when you f

Yes, you can get Adaptal mounts that fit Pentax cameras. Beyond
that much, I can't say. I have never owned a Tamron Adaptal of
