I bought an excellent condition Leitz Eldia. I have two Leica, mini zoom and mini 2 and I am using polypan f with tanol. I think it needs very slow film or paper.

Can I use it with daylight and 50 ASA copy film with exposing by hand when open and close fast, or for lower light in need , I can use roof lamp. I have no enlarger.

I want to use paper also. Which grade is the best ? Do I need to cut the paper and to what size ?

Thank you Summicron.

It says 25 watt lamp and 1.5 meters distance is required and 1 to 5 seconds exposure time.
I bet it doesnt work with red sensitive film because it has a red window.

I will use it when I found ortho film and I will use paper printing 35x55mm.

Which paper do you advise and which grade ?
 
for just contact prints I'd use a 2 or multi-grade without a filter, glossy RC and see how you like it.
