4x5 Beseler/Omega/LPL negative carrier compatibility

[BTC]

I thought I recalled that omega D carriers could be used in Beseler 45 enlargers but that certainly doesn’t seem to be common knowledge. Maybe it’s LPL and Omega?

Anyone have any light to shed on this topic? Specifically wondering if I might be able to use a negaflat carrier in a different enlarger.

I have an Omega D5 and Beseler MXT sitting side by side on my bench, the answer is not compatible. The Omega carrier will fit in the Beseler with much slop, not possible the other way around.

They're different. You'd have to make a special adapter.
