Hello,
I have read about three different ways to use ilford multigrade filters on an older focomat 1c without the filter slot in the lamp head.
1. under the lamp above the condensor
2. under the lens, laying the filter on empty swing arm so as to avoid vignetting
3.under the lens, using the ilford filter attachment (this won't fit on my focomat 1c at all)
Are there still other ways?
As #3 is unworkable, 1 or 2 seem the best bets for me. As I currently I have a set of ilford 3.5" filters, not 6" filters, the swing arm would seem the least costly.
However, my main question is which method, 1 or 2, functions most effectively in printing?
Thanks a lot,
