Omega C700 for enlarging and copy stand

[Empyreus]

Hey everyone,

I found an Omega C700 for around $70 with just the standard head, I also found the adapter to use it as a copy stand for $50. I'm planning on moving to a Fuji GFX for film scanning soon and was wondering if this will be sturdy and tall enough for the GFX series? Also if in the future I want to use it as an enlarger is it worth the purchase?

I haven't gotten into the darkroom yet, just dslr scanning my film. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Good price, what are you waiting for?

Man, prices for enlargers are all over the place.

Purchased the enlarger, now I need to figure out how to mount my camera to use as a copy stand. The camera adapter was not what I expected. Very old but came in perfect condition!

Hello,

Have you managed to mount your camera? If yes, any particular adapter needed?

Thanks

Hello! Unfortunately I realized that the camera adapter was not what I was looking for, and since then I haven't had time to find a solution for conversion to a copy stand. I am hoping to in the future but nothing solid yet.
