Goodmorning at all , can someone help me?

I want to buy a 4x5 enlarger , and i found a 138 with cls 301 color head.

But i haven't any manual and information for the CLS 301 !!

In particular can a LATIBOX 138 (mixing box for the 5x7 or 13x18) print 4x5 films?

or i have to buy the latibox 450 for the 4x5 ?

I would think the larger mixing box will print the smaller negative. Just not as bright as a matched size mixing box.

I use an IFF Ampliator 5x7" enlarger and a 5x7" mixing box with 4x5" negatives. Works very well! I doubt't that the 4x5" mixing box would be significantly brighter.

According to the Durst literature the 4x5" mixing box gains 1/2 stop over the 5x7" mixing box.
