Condenser vs Diffuser

[luxikon]

Diffuser for 135, 120 and 6x9. Condenser for 4'x5'. Main format 120.

Ralph,

If you put your hand on the head while the fan is running, do you feel a slight vibration?

Best,

Cor

Yes, I do. Do this, insert a negative and rack the enlarger to the top. Put a grain focuser on the easel and look at the projected image. Do you see any vibration?

Good idea, Ralph..I'll give it a try next time I swap heads, thanks,

Cor
