6X17 Negatice carrier for Zone VI 5X7 enlarger

[nsurit]

Is anyone using their 5X7 Zone VI enlarger for 6X17 negatives? If so what options might their be for a negative carrier? I have a 6X18 pinhole and have used an unmentionable method of getting the negatives printed, however recently purchased a Zone VI enlarger ans am excited about the possibility of printing these negatives in a "proper" manner. Thanks in advance, Bill Barber

Bill,

You might make your own out of 1/8 inch tempered Masonite. I've made bunches of them for several enlargers, including 5x7, 4x5, 6x17 and, recently, a 6x15 as described on my website at:

The stuff is easy to work, flat & stable, the next best thing to an aluminum original.

Have fun.
