Generally pretty good but s/h gets costly. Am getting curious about borderless easels. Cheap is good... If a mod works then why not. I noticed somewhere on the web that some of the old timers have a math formula for determining lens / enlarger height and size of print re min and max print size. So 150 or 162mm will give you 4 1/2 and 5 1/4 X's max on maybe the D2 and 1 1/2 X's min? That's easily 20"? That's the width I'd like. As for film I'm looking at Ilford's XP2 and Tetenal's C-41 processing. Larger ss dev tanks seem to go for around $15-29 on eBay. Whatever. I will just take my time until the right things appear at the right price. And continue doing research. There also seems to be some interesting books on neg and print retouching on eBay... Old ones. I did contact somebody yesterday re a D5500 and he wanted $150. But after some research I decided that it was not the model for me. It has a computer and a color head. It's not lo fi enough:-) Cheers.

Making a negative carrier that holds the negative in place to your format should be pretty easy. I use matte board and make a template for the negative size needed. I am cheap like that.<br />As far as making the print, the beauty of the D-2 swings to the left or right making it easy to shoot onto the floor from your normal work table height. 11x14 is easily achieved.You would only would be limited by the height of the ceiling in your darkroom. For that matter shooting sideways onto a wall works but I am pretty sure the D-2 does not turn on its side,unlike some of the smaller enlargers. From there use of large developing trays for wet chemicals is a must.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dean Dean Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133335150648819901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8847352722417737680.post-37552981199596579942012-09-06T17:08:29.953-07:002012-09-06T17:08:29.953-07:00Hi.

I once spent 7 months burning through about 50 rolls of Super 8 on water because I didn't know what else to do.<br /><br />Maybe you could advise. I'm researching stuff re the Omega D. One of the more basic models for B+W work. And I want to know: How big are the max when it comes to printing? Printing 4x5 etc. I found a panoramic camera that's hand made in China. It shoots 35mm and 120. Wild eh. Film aspect ratio is either 55mm X 110mm or 24mm X 110mm. So like how big of a print could I expect to go on an Omega D. <br /><br />Thank you. <br />Zeewoz@yahoo.ca<br /><br />And cheers. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
