can beseler 45 neg carrier be used in omega?

[Andrew Laverghetta]

Hopefully the title is short and sweet and to the point. I have negative carriers for a Beseler 45M and I'd like to know if it's possible to use them in the Omega Universal 4x5 variable condenser enlarger. I'm asking because my university darkroom uses these omega enlargers and I have the beseler. I would have to check out a medium format negatives carrier from the school which could be a hassle. I remember the omega enlargers had similar pins to fit the carrier into the slot on some enlargers. Actually, the negative carrier usually fit into a circular slot itself. I'm not asking because I think this is a common thing (though maybe it is), I'm asking in the chance that somebody has run across this in the past and would like to make my life a smidge easier

Thank ya much!

some types are interchangeable. If you have the ones without "the handle" they work in either.
