Rollei Enlargers?

titrisol · Oct 25, 2005

I just received a Rollei EC 6x7 Enlarger for free.
The light turns on and the color filters seem to be working fine, however it only came with the 6x7 neg carrier.
The color filters go from 0-170.
The lens (I believe is not original) is a cheapo P.R.O. 75mm which I will replace with a Schneider 80mm I have.

Anybody has a clue of who made these enlargers?
Can they be compared/Are they interchangeable with any other brand?

I thought it looked like a LPL from the late 70s but I'm not sure.

Any hints appreciated

PS. I ran a search on eBay and found a Nikor 6x7 enlarger that is identical

PS2: Never mind it is a LPL-Omega C76 enlarger.... found all I needed in Harry taylor's website

Ok guys, found most of what I needed wxcept..... negative carriers!

This one came only with the 6x7 carrier and I'd like to get a 6x6 (maybe not necessary) and a 35mm carriers
Abybody knows if the C760 or C67 carriers can be used?
If anyone has one of these could you measure the width and depth of the carriers to see if they would work?

Thanks!

some gave us a nikkor version of th is enlarger, and at first i was not sure about using it, but am glad we set it up as it gives a lovely look to prints, far better than any other dichro head in the lab.
enjoy

That sound interesting, could you elaborate on this?
Could it be a result of the way the diffusion chamber is setup?

I opened the enlarger and found that the diffusion chamber is just some white styrofoam bouncing the light from the bulb+filters

don't know Pablo. the prints just have a smoother graduation of tones.

All of the diffusion heads i have seen have a mixing chamber of some sort, usually white plastic. Why this looks different is a mystery, but it does.

Have even put different lens on it and that is not the answer.
Of course those lens where nikon and schenider not an off brand, altho, it had some strange lens on it when it arrived, but i tossed it out as it was full of mold.
