Just wondering if there is/was a 6x9 negative carrier for the Saunders/LPL 4550 XLG. I see 6x7 versions but haven’t come across a carrier for 6x9. Just wondering if it exists or what people use.
 
You might want to just use the glass carrier and the masking blades. 6x9cm images have a lot of area and the film base is flimsy compared to 4x5in. Keeping it from moving during the exposure can be a challenge without a glass carrier.

My Omega does not have masking blades so I made my own masks for the 5x5in glass carriers.

 

Yea that was my goal but I’d been running into issues as I mentioned in the other post in the Enlarging forum. Using my 4x5 glass carrier with all film sizes from 35mm to 4x5 would be ideal and what I was hoping for. I’ll likely revisit the glass carrier with masking attachment based on the recs you and others have made in the other thread but I may still look for a few of the dedicated holders if offered at good prices just to have them on hand and to make some comparisons.
