Meopta Opemus III ???

[Gerry M]

Anyone have experience with this "suitcase" enlarger? I need to downsize and will stay with 35mm only, for the next year or so. My 23C2 will go into storage. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry

Had one years ago
The Opemus range including the III will do 6X6 negs just fine. Its cabable of doing fine prints. Im not sure whether the II have the same focusing aid feature as the later models but I think so. Im not sure whether parts like lenscones etc are interchangeable from the II and forward I think so but look into it.
Best regards

Soeren,
Thanks for your input. I bought one today for $35 US. It looks new. Very sturdy and very simple. Just what I need for the interim while. Dismantles in about 2 minutes and packs away in its' "suitcase". It makes my Beseler 23C2 look like a monster.
