6x6 Negative Tray For Beseler 23CII

[Andrew O'Neill]

A kind lady donated a couple of her late husband's C330's to our high school photography program. I'm pretty excited to be able to introduce some of my keen senior students to medium format. We have a Beseler 23CII enlarger, but no 6x6 negative tray. If you have one that you no longer use and could donate... or even a 6x7 tray... could you PM me? Thank you!

Thanks Ann. That is exactly what I was considering to do if I cannot locate a carrier. I've got heaps of matt board laying around! Cheers!

If you can get that "double black" ( flat black on the inside and outside ) matboard, it works really well. Especially if you cut both sides with a beveled mat cutter.

You can also "tune" it to exactly the size image that your camera makes... I've got a stack of matboard carriers that match my cameras, and I often reach for them even when I do have the right sized beseler carrier.

I don't have any black matte board, but plenty of white... I'll spray paint them flat black, after I cut the window out.

I preferred the 120 Negatrans for my 23C enlarger. Maybe someone has one to let go of cheaply.

I will check when I go into class tomorrow as we had several 23 but I don’t remember a bout the=negative carriers

White might be=ok buttercup black seemed logical. As these days carriers are black. However many many years ago a silver one would=pop up

Actually, many older Omega carriers are silver. I does seem that both old and new Beseler carriers are black.
