I just purchased a new color enlarger and am a bit confused by the negative carriers. its an omega super chromega D dichroic ii
i dont know what the speed carrier is for... Can i just put plain old negative carriers in it or do I need a speed carrier? only 1 negative carrier works.
does anyone have or know of somehwere I can get carriers for this? i need 6x4.5 6x7 and 6x9
any help and advice is very much appreciated!
I know this is an old thread but it's kinda of relevant to what I'm dealing with. I just won an auction on an Omega D5 with Superchromega D Dichroic II color head. It's a local pickup situation so I won't be picking it up until the weekend but in reviewing the pictures of all the extras it comes with I noticed there are a bunch of negative carriers but they aren't the standard D series negatives carriers with the circular edges on the long sides, they don't look like picture file name IMG_1272.jpg from the original post above, they look like the carriers in image IMG_1274.jpg. Seems like there is one speed carrier frame and the rest of them look like what is on the right of the speed carrier...
Anybody know which enlarger these are supposed to work with? Do they work with a D5? I got a great deal on the enlarger so I wouldn't be too disappointed if I had to buy new carriers but it would be great if anyone has any info. My best guess is that the speed carrier and the holders somehow work together? is that right? Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have the D3 version it takes two sheets.
It will probably work well with just one half of the carrier "glassed". It will just give you results that are around half way between the results you will get from a glassless carrier and a full glass carrier.
Some prefer that approach, because it reduces by two the number of surfaces available to gather dust.

Make sure your D5 Dichroic comes with the matching power supply. There were, as I recall, two versions. One has an integrated timer and the other does not.
