Many old Leitz enlarger heads are painted inside w/a special silver paint that gives a long tonal scale.
Many old Leitz enlarger heads are painted inside w/a special silver paint that gives a long tonal scale.michael the solar ( capital s ) enlarger i mentioned used frosted glass bulbs and
a dome above the enlarger that was coated with some sort of white diffusion material
which gave a unique look. i'll never forget when i apprenticed the lady who had that enlarger, she
had some sort of condensor enlarger next to it and suggested i use it to make contact prints / proof sheets
and soon after she said go back to the solar, the light makes the portraits look better ...
not sure if this is what chip j meant but if the internal illumination mechanism of the 3nlargers he mentions
are something like that, then ... maybe he is right, otherwise an enlarger is just a projection box ... and as long
as the lsn't a meniscus or verito or soft focus portrait lens enlarger lenses are kind of the same stopped down a couple of clicks ..
then again i could be wrong
A difference maybe but is it related to overall optical quality (assembly, lens polish, coating,...) or only from optical features from designer's requirements (resolution vs contrast, residual aberration, vignetting,...)? Said differently, is "different" meaning better or worse or just... different?
I was calling attention to the fact that an earlier post said that enlargers were all the same, Just a "box with a light and a hole in it"; so by that criteria cameras are all the same too-just a box with a hole in it.Sure they can and have. What focal length and attributes are you comparing? IMO it's kind of a dumb question. I've seen images from an old 50mm f2 HC nikkor that were better than a Summicron. There are so many factors here, distance, subject matter/ flatness of field, lighting, sensor/film resolution, vibration, etc.
You need to be very specific here.
It's been said that the E series Nikon lenses are optically the same as Nikkors, built less expensively, but still better built than contemporary Nikon lenses.

If you want to be "fair" then a camera is just a box w/a
hole in it. How can there be any differences between them?
Computers cant design lenses , the amount of possibility exceeds the capacity of all computers of the world works billion of years.
Do you think the level of physics and mathematics knowledge of germany when year of 1905 , ever been surpassed by america at year 2016 ? may be 300 years later, ding dong

think , you want to design a noctilux with your intelligent computer. there are may be 14 surfaces , 7 glasses. For each curve , you must have 7 digit sensivity. you must have 7 thickness also. 7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7
if i calculated correctly there is 700000 trillion of possibilities
and add 7 distances.

Don't discount the image quality of some of the E-series lenses, either. They were obviously offered to appeal to a lower price-point, but definitely have some advantages. I have the 50/1.8 and it's a tiny, lightweight lens that gives great results.Thank you for providing that detailed information. My knowledge of the E-series is almost nothing.
As to "what's been said"... I think I paid too much attention to a certain K** R***.
You should create a new forum just for yourself, where you could truly appreciate your photos.I (...) have taken many GREAT pictures over 50 yrs, a fair number of which most of you wouldn't appreciate
...
No need for me to explain it all on this forum.
And 99.999999% of those can be eliminated based on the first basic set of design parameters for any new lens.if i calculated correctly there is 700000 trillion of possibilities
