Meopta Opemus 6 negative carrier

Ojjokinen · Oct 29, 2020

I recently bought an Opemus 6 enlarger for a great deal, but have struggled finding a negative carrier/insert for 6x45 format. I know the model has a universal carrier, and ordinary inserts for 645 as well, yet I haven't been able to find one for sale anywhere!

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look at?

For the moment, I have made myself an improvised carrier from black card, but it doesnt help me keep the negative flat and in place.

You can try looking at RK photo they were the importers for the Meopta range and may still have some parts available

Just sent you a pm with some links. Don't expect too much from the 4.5X6 holder. You can also use the 6X6 holder and solve the excess light with a black carton cut-out . . . I assume you'd print with an easel.

Thank you - I made an improvised 645 holder from black card but it doesnt allow me the flatness I'd want with the negative. Perhaps a 6x6 insert & glass and a simpler card insert would do the trick.. I emailed RK photo and they are looking if they have one in their warehouse. Thanks for the reply!
