hi all
just a small question. when you replace the head on a mxt with a cold light you lose the filterdrawer so wher then is the best place to put the filters? above below , on top of neg carrier?
thanks

wager123,
I fabricated one from masonite(1/8") and put it between the head and neg stage. I use an old gel holder from a Norman light to hold the VC filters.

Basically it's three layers of hardboard with the center one being sandwiched between the top & bottom which are cut out using a fly cutter.
Rotozip or router would also work

Just a question. Why did you replace the head with a cold-light?
