I have an Omega 45D that came my way with a lot of other equipment - I have not used it. It has the factory box and looks very lightly used. The bellows passes a flashlight test and all controls are working OK. It could use a cleaning as it was apparently in storage for some time. Comes...

FOBA Low Profile - three way pan/tilt head in good working condition - but "kind da ruff looking" One of the handles has been replaced with a functioning handle - bent angle iron. I got this to use with an 8x10 on a studio stand instead of a Majestic head I had. While it seems to be fine for...

Looking for a Rittreck 4x5 back - anyone have one to sell??

Another shot from the workshop I was in with T. Crane. It's the rear window in the Olsen House Kitchen in Cushing, Maine - Taken during the summer of 2012.

Inspired by an article I read (I think it was in View Camera). I took a tray of flowers and froze them in a pan of water. The ice block was removed from the tray and the photo was taken with a strong backlight.

It was both - bright overcast day and I love what I can get out of a negative with Pyrocat.

Taken during a workshop session at the Olson House in Cushing, Maine - 2012

Yes, you do not need the shutter with the E4 head. It is just a big Omegalite with a circle line tube. Yes, I do have an Omega glass 5x7 carrier with new glass - I would offer it to the buyer of the enlarger first before parting it out. I also have the E3 head that I have converted to LEDs...

5x7 OMEGA Enlarger - E3 combined with E4 - Pick Up Only in NY - $250 Chassis is an Automega E3 and the head is from an E4. It is in great working condition. Moves smoothly and locks up fine. Bellows are in good condition. Included: 6 auto focus rails - three installed and an...

It is possible to make your own from a piece of aluminum. You need to manually focus the lens at a number of locations and mark the blank where the wheel should be located on the blank. Then "make a curve" that passes through the points. If you are off a little use the fine focus adjustment...

I don't see why it would be different. You may need to work a little on the right distance from LED's to the diffuser to get even light distribution. The E3 I did convert is rather compact, so I used two diffusion plates because of the limited height of the head. Also, because you are doing...

I did do a set of step test with a 21 step wedge - I compared the results to a set from a condenser head - they were the same except for the 0 and the 00 filters which did not reach the same max black as the condenser results. I do not consider this much of a problem as I usually do split...

The head has an opal glass diffuser plate as the original one - above the filter drawer, I added another diffusion plate. The LEDs have a 120 degree beam spread, there are no "hot spots" - there is a little light fall off in the corners. I use a R H Designs meter and it shows about 2/3s of a...

The times the LEDs will be on for focusing could be minutes, my timer has an auto shutoff feature on focus so heat should not be an issue. I did do a few trial time runs and the heat settled down around 115 degrees as measured on the back of the plate. The paste is very cheap and you will need...

No, when I got it the shutter had been removed.

This is a short description of how I converted an Omega 5x7 E3 Head to an LED head - The enlarger I have is an Automega 5x7 E3 - it originally had a 4 tube cold light head when I got it. The metal housing is rather compact and has a filter drawer. I removed the old cold light head, but kept...

I found mine on Ebay, looks like they aren't currently selling in North American for some reason. As I said I really like the plastic tub design over the typical bike trailer models from other makers. A small design feature is the multi position for the axle - it has three positions which...

This is what I use: http://www.nordiccab.com/menu/home Bottom is a plastic tub and rated for a load of 110 pounds - really easy to push, but you can also use handles to pull it - or, if you have one, you can use a dog harness so your dog can pull it for you. Wheels can be switched to skis in...

Hi John - I'm always interested in a Long Island gathering/meet up - will also watch for future postings.

OFFERS?? ANY INTEREST IN PARTS?? I really hate to have to send this to the scrap metal dealer.

For Sale: BESELER 57MVT 5x7 Floor Standing Enlarger As Is - Must be picked up on Long Island, New York - Asking $250 It is 81 inches high (because I removed the reflector head - details below) and weighs about 200 pounds. It does not come apart very quickly, so a van or pick up truck...

Thanks everyone, looks like I will be getting some more Permawash.

I have had some problems clearing platinum prints using EDTA, even an overnight soaking wasn't enough to remove a yellow cast. Is there a shelf life to EDTA? I had a little Permawash in the darkroom, and tried that yesterday, seems to clear the yellow cast in about 15 minutes. Has anyone else...

I know I won't be able to make it, but congratulations on the show - it looks like an interesting one. Bob
