For sale is the widely unknown (and very rare) "ILFORD Multigrade 100" unit.
It is well known that you can equip the Leitz Focomat 2c with the very large (and somewhat ugly) Ilford Multigrade 500 unit to use variable-contrast paper for your black and white work.
But it is widely unknown that there is another Multigrade head from Ilford that is much smaller and lighter. This is the very rare "Ilford Multigrade 100" unit, consisting of the Multigrade head (100H) and the corresponding transformer (100S).
The grade can be adjusted continuously from grade 00 to grade 5 with a single knob.
The set filtering can be swung out with another knob, so you can use white light for better focusing.
Unlike its big brother, you can even connect your own timer!
It doesn’t replace the condenser in your Focomat because it is mounted just above the condenser, so the character of your light doesn't change!
Price: €300, can be shipped worldwide.
(btw: the pictured Focomat 2c is also for sale...)
You can contact me also via instagram.
