durst m700 + cls 70

[zozur]

Hi
I can buy it for about 25$ including shipping.
Seller know nothing about enlargers. What size of negative I will be able to print with that color head? Is it possible to print graded paper with it? Bulbs are easy to find? or power supply? I know its gamble... but you know, that gabling is addictive

The m700 is upto 6x9, yes, as with any color head you can print graded paper, bulbs are easy to find. If it's complete, it's no gamble at all, it's a very nice enlarger.

Thanks Frank
I read that there are different condensers for different negative dimensions.
Cls 70 is diffusion head right? It can take negatives up to 6x9?
There is also 50mm lens with it so I'm not sure that everything will works with medium format. Of course I know that 50mm can't take 6x6 or 6x9 but other gear?
All the best

Yes, the cls70 is a diffusion head, so you don't need condensors, but a diffusion box. I'm not sure, but I think one is for 35mm and the other for mf (maybe 35mm and 66 is the same one and another one is 6x9, have to check that). And yes, the enlarger takes 6x9.
My current enlarger is a combination of m700 and m800. I have both (both were incomplete), so if you miss some parts, I might have some spares.

Ok here it is:

I don't know i will work with 6x9 negatives. Hole diameterf cls 70 should be smaller than hole in Setebox 69? Negative carrier should have only one glass? (Bottom)?
Best

It's going to cost the seller far more than $25 just for the shipping.

 

[zozur]

Well...
I live in Poland and shipping cost was about 8$. Seller told me, that he wanted go to the scrapyard with it next month...
So now its mine. I need clean it and make some minor repairs.

Wow... very affordable shipping in Poland. Congratulations on the purchase.
