Question on Durst L1200

Dear All,

Condenser Combination: Do I place the 152 on top of the 151, what difference does it make if I swap position? I understood that the curve sides should face each other, right?

Red filter: What is the function of the red filter provided by Durst? I usually discard it and replace it with Ilford Grading filter to give me the grading I desire. Did I do anything wrong?

Teng Wei

..that's correct, but according to the manual it should be first the 151 and than the 152 on top of that...

Do you mean the red filter which is on a metal rod, and which you can swing underneath your lens, so you can check the projected negative on the unexposed paper on the baseboard.
